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 Pantheon
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after his Shield Vault
Take a trade when Shield Vault (W) is on cooldown: it's his only spell to leap onto you and stun you, on a 13 to 9 second cooldown.
- Go around his Aegis
During Aegis Assault (E), go around him or wait it out: he ignores damage from the front, except from towers.
- Back before you get too low
Back before your health gets too low against him: below a health threshold, Comet Spear (Q) deals much more damage.
- Ping when he leaves lane
Ping your team as soon as he disappears from lane: Grand Starfall (R) lands him from long range, after a short delay that gives you time to get away.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Pantheon looks to get ahead early through his trades and roams.
