Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range and poke, but Trundle can all-in you if you misposition or run out of energy.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage in short trades but lose extended all-ins once Trundle gets his R sustain and stats.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading is Q-W-AA with Electrocute proc then immediately backing off before Trundle can gap close with W movement speed.
- Never commit to extended trades as his Q bite and passive healing will out-sustain your damage over time.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to deny Trundle farm while staying safe from ganks.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you have vision as Trundle sets up ganks well with his E pillar.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get baited into all-ins even when ahead - Trundle's R steals your resistances making you surprisingly squishy.
- Never use E aggressively for damage as it's your only escape tool against his pillar and gap closing potential.
