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 Warwick
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay above 50% health
Keep your health above 50%: below that, Blood Hunt (W) gives him speed toward you and attack speed, three times more below 25%.
- Finish him fast below 50% health
When he drops below 50% health, finish him fast, with CC if you have any: Eternal Hunger (passive) then heals him with each auto, three times more below 25%.
- Don't count on a dash to escape
If you have a dash, don't count on it to escape his held bite: Jaws of the Beast (Q) makes him follow all your movement, then leap behind you.
- Stay behind your tanky allies
In teamfights, stay behind your tankiest allies: Infinite Duress (R) suppresses the first champion hit, and its range grows with his move speed.
- Cut his healing
If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to him: his autos heal him at low health, and Infinite Duress (R) heals him for all the damage it deals.
