Playing as Trundle

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Cut off their escape with your pillar

    Place Pillar of Ice (E) behind the fleeing enemy: it blocks their path and slows nearby enemies.

  5. 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 Olaf

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge his axe

    Dodge Undertow (Q): it's his only slow, and without a dash, he can only reach you on foot.

  2. Trade while his axe is away

    Take a trade when his axe has landed far from him: until he picks it up, Undertow (Q) keeps its 9-second cooldown.

  3. No long trades when he's low

    Avoid long trades when he's low on health: Berserker Rage (passive) gives him attack speed and life steal based on his missing health.

  4. Save your CC for after Ragnarok

    If you have CC, save it for after Ragnarok (R): while it lasts, no CC stops him, and it has a 100 to 80 second cooldown.
