Playing as Trundle
Tips to maximize your impact
- Open your trades with Chomp
Start your trades with Chomp (Q): the empowered auto slows your target, then steals some of their attack damage, which matters most against a physical damage dealer.
- Trade near the wave
Take your trades near the wave: King's Tribute (passive) heals you for part of the max health of each enemy that dies near you, minions included.
- Fight in your domain
Place Frozen Domain (W) where the fight will happen and draw the enemy into it: inside, you gain move speed, attack speed and increased healing.
- Cut off their escape with your pillar
Place Pillar of Ice (E) behind the fleeing enemy: it blocks their path and slows nearby enemies.
- Steal the tank's resists
Cast Subjugate (R) on the enemy tank: you steal part of their armor and magic resist, and your team can focus them down.
Playing against Amumu
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Bandage Toss (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and it's his only spell to reach you.
- Step up after both bandages
Step up when both charges of Bandage Toss (Q) are gone: he can't reach you again until a charge comes back.
- Spread out from your allies
When he has Curse of the Sad Mummy (R), spread out from your allies in teamfights: the spell stuns every enemy around him.
- Ward the way into your lane
Ward the path between his jungle and your lane: Bandage Toss (Q) brings him onto you from range, and he has two charges to catch you.
