Who Wins

  • You lose most trades pre-6 due to Trundle's sustain and DPS, so focus on Q poke and farming safely.
  • Post-6 you can threaten kills with R engage but still lose extended fights, so look for quick R-E-Q combos or jungle assistance.

How to Trade

  • Use Q to poke and slow his approach, then immediately back away to avoid extended trades.
  • When he commits with W, use E to reduce his attack speed and kite backwards while your Q cooldown refreshes.

Wave Control

  • Focus on farming safely and giving up CS if necessary to avoid his all-ins, as you scale better into teamfights.
  • Use Q to last-hit from range when possible and look for opportunities to roam with R once you hit 6.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't try to match his sustain trading or fight in his minion waves where he can heal off passive.
  • Avoid using R aggressively without jungle follow-up, as he can turn the fight with his ultimate and sustain.
