Tryndamere vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Tryndamere's strong dueling and splitpush to pressure side lanes and force Nunu into reactive plays rather than proactive ganks.
Control jungle tempo by counter-invading and setting up vision around objectives to limit Nunu's early objective control and gank threat.

Jungle Plan

Clear your jungle quickly to maintain tempo and deny Nunu early invade windows.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority; otherwise focus on safe farming and vision control.
Track Nunu's (W) angles through fog and counter-invade or punish his pathing when he shows on the opposite side of the map.

Danger windows

Beware level 2-3 invade windows when Nunu can gank from fog with (W) and force numbers advantage.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority or vision, as Nunu's CC chain and (R) zone control punish solo engages.
Do not overcommit to low-health clears or forced Smite fights near objectives without lane support or vision.

Early game

Prioritize a fast full clear to hit level 3 before contesting Scuttle or river control, avoiding fights without lane support.
Avoid isolated 1v1s early since Nunu's sustain and gank threat with (W) are high.
Track Nunu's gank paths with vision and prepare to counter-gank when lanes have priority.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for death denial; use this to force extended fights when Nunu's (R) is not layered with CC.
Two-item spike boosts dueling and splitpush threat; leverage this to pressure towers and isolate Nunu.
Respect Nunu's first dragon or Herald spawn where (Q) plus Smite gives strong objective secure; contest vision early.

Win conditions

Convert dueling and splitpush pressure into side-lane tower plates and force rotations to deny Nunu safe objective control.
Use vision and lane priority to counter-gank Nunu's early ganks and punish his jungle pathing with timely invades.
Scale into two-item power spikes and leverage (R) death denial to win extended fights, then snowball control over dragon and Herald.
