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 Renekton
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade when he's under 50 Fury
Take a trade when his Fury is under 50: above that, Ruthless Predator (W) destroys your shields and stuns you twice as long.
- Trade after his dashes
Take a trade once he has used both Slice and Dice (E) dashes: it's his only way to reach you or get out, on a 16 to 10 second cooldown.
- Back off when he casts Dominus
Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts Dominus (R): he gains max health, builds Fury every second, and damages enemies around him.
- Drag the game out
If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Renekton looks to get ahead in lane, before everyone has their items.
