Playing against Trundle

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Trundle is a duelist — don't fight him 1v1, especially if he has R active.

2

His pillar (E) can be walked around but blocks the path: Flash or dash over it if you're trapped.

3

His R steals your stats: if you're a tank, he becomes tankier and you become squishier. Don't engage him alone.

4

Trundle is weak against kiting: ranged champions with slows counter him well.
