Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades if you can stack passive on minions and engage with full stacks, but Trundle's Q auto-reset and W attack speed make extended trades dangerous.
- Post-6, you have kill pressure with R if you land E, but Trundle's R stealing your stats makes the all-in much closer than it appears.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve Q-ing through low minions to stack passive, landing E on Trundle, then using Q resets to weave autos and disengage before his W fully kicks in.
- Avoid extended auto-attack duels without your passive stacked, as his Q debuff and W steroid will out-DPS you in raw melee combat.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your side to have minions for Q resets and passive stacking.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as Trundle excels at running you down in long lanes with his W movement speed and pillar blocking your escape.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage without passive stacks or minions to Q through, as Trundle will simply run you down with Q slow and W steroid.
- Never underestimate his R damage reduction and stat steal in all-ins - many Irelias die thinking they're ahead when Trundle becomes tankier and hits harder mid-fight.
