Tryndamere vs Poppy

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Leverage Tryndamere's superior late-game scaling and splitpush strength to force Poppy to respond and limit her impact on fights.
Manage fights by stacking Fury before committing and avoid extended duels near walls where Poppy can stun and deny your mobility.

Jungle Plan

Focus on efficient jungle clears to reach two-item spikes faster and apply side-lane pressure before Poppy can group.
Contest dragon only with lane priority and vision control to mitigate (R) disengage threat.
Track Poppy's first gank path and prepare to counter-gank, especially near walls where she relies on (E) stuns.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Poppy can use walls and (W) to deny your (E) and lock you down.
Be cautious when low on health during clears, as Poppy's dueling and gank threat is high near terrain.
Do not contest objectives without vision and lane priority due to Poppy's ability to displace and disrupt fights with (R).

Early game

Prioritize a fast first clear to hit level 3 quickly and avoid early river fights where (W) and (E) wall stun dominate.
Delay contesting Scuttle crab until nearby lanes have priority to reduce risk of Poppy's counter-invades.
Avoid early invades unless you have vision and lane priority to punish Poppy's predictable terrain-based pathing.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling survival through lethal damage and forcing extended fights; use this to dive or pressure towers aggressively.
Two-item spike boosts crit damage and mobility uptime, enhancing splitpush threat and dueling power.
Respect Poppy's level 6 (R) knockaway as it can reset fights or deny objectives; avoid committing when it is available.

Win conditions

Use superior scaling and side-lane pressure to force Poppy to respond, creating opportunities for your team to secure objectives.
Convert high Fury and (R) windows into extended duels or tower dives to snowball leads.
Control vision and tempo around dragon and Herald to limit Poppy's objective control and capitalize on her lower scaling damage.
