Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades if you land E and force extended fights, as Trundle lacks burst to punish your tentacle setup.
- Post-6 you dominate if you hit E before he engages, but lose hard if he gets on top of you without your E available since his R steals your tankiness.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is E into Q combo when he goes for CS, then back off immediately to avoid his W empowered trades.
- Never try to fight him in melee range without landing E first, as his sustained damage and healing will outdamage your base kit.
Wave Control
- Push waves hard with Q to create tentacle zones and force him to farm under tower where you can poke with E.
- Avoid freezing since Trundle excels in extended trades in static positions and can run you down in long lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight him in his W zone without landing E first, as the attack speed and healing make him win any sustained trade.
- Don't waste E on his clone from his pillar displacement, as missing your key ability gives him a massive window to all-in you.
