Tryndamere vs Zac

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Prioritize early jungle tempo and vision to avoid Zac's long-range (E) ganks and punish his weak early dueling before he scales.
Use Tryndamere's superior dueling and scaling to pressure river control and contest key objectives like dragon and Rift Herald.

Jungle Plan

Execute full clears early and invade Zac's jungle when he is low level and vision is established to exploit his weak invade resistance.
Fight for Scuttle Crab control only if your lanes have priority to secure river vision and objective setup.
Use river control and lane priority to set up objective fights around dragon and Rift Herald, denying Zac's engage opportunities.

Danger windows

Zac's early jungle levels before gaining tank stats and team follow-up create a risky window for isolated fights.
Avoid isolated river fights without lane priority due to Zac's long-range (E) engage and knockup disruption.
Steer clear of forced smite fights early when Zac can out-tank and out-sustain; wait for scaling or numbers advantage.

Early game

Start with a fast full clear to reach level 3 quickly and contest the first Scuttle Crab only when nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early river duels unless Zac is spotted on the opposite side or low on health.
Track Zac's pathing with early vision to prepare counter-ganks against his fog-of-war ganks.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling aggressive all-ins and extended fights before Zac builds tank stats.
Two-item spike boosts crit damage and mobility, increasing splitpush threat and dueling power against Zac.
High Fury stacks amplify short trade damage and sustain, letting you punish Zac when his engage tools are on cooldown.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and vision control into counter-jungling and objective steals to delay Zac's scaling.
Pressure side lanes with superior dueling and mobility to force Zac into reactive plays and create map pressure.
Use (R) death denial to win extended duels and secure towers, snowballing splitpush advantage into teamfight leverage.
