Zyra vs Tryndamere

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize brush control with plants to limit Tryndamere's engage angles and punish his approach.
Use your root (E) to set up ganks and lock Tryndamere when he overextends or uses (E).
Leverage ranged poke and zone control to deny Tryndamere safe access to jungle camps and objectives.

Jungle Plan

Path for early river control and contest Scuttle when your lanes can assist first.
Counter-invade Tryndamere's jungle when his (E) is down to punish his weaker mobility.
Use ganks to punish Tryndamere's low early dueling without (R) and force him off side-lane pressure.

Danger windows

Respect (E) gap close and (R) death denial when contesting isolated river fights.
Avoid low-health clears near enemy vision to prevent forced smite fights under his (R).
Beware of Tryndamere diving with (R) during early objective setups when lanes lack priority.

Early game

Focus on fast full clears to hit level 3 before Tryndamere can stack Fury and pressure.
Secure early Scuttle Crabs only when nearby lanes have priority to avoid risky 1v1s.
Avoid invading if Tryndamere has (E) ready and lanes cannot assist, as he can chase or escape effectively.

Power spikes

Level 2 root plus plant poke enables stronger early jungle skirmishes; contest camps aggressively.
Level 6 ultimate (R) creates zone control in fights; coordinate ganks with laners to capitalize.
Tryndamere's power spikes come from high Fury and (R); punish windows when these are unavailable.

Win conditions

Convert brush and root control into secured dragons and Rift Heralds with lane priority.
Use your crowd control and ultimate to enable safe teamfights and deny Tryndamere side-lane pressure.
Deny Tryndamere Fury buildup by pressuring his jungle and forcing early fights before his spikes.
