Trundle Guide: Killing Shyvana(Update)

kiloechoesp·8/3/2015, 9:07:31 PM·1 votes·812 views

This was originally posted 5 days ago. Since then, Trundle has started trolling bot lane as support in pro play... http://na.lolesports.com/articles/trolling-bot-lane-trundle-support

Here's (most of) the original post. Ok, I thought I should share this since I got a S+ in a recent trundle game. I also have a 80% ranked win rate with him. Trundle

You can play Trundle as Support, Top and Jungle. He's not very competitive, but he can be played very effectively... or at least he wasn't competitive when I wrote this guide ._. .

Choose Trundle when: Shyvana Leona Nasus Nautilus Warwick

All these champions are tanky, and have cc or deal a lot of dmg(with tank). So the reason why he's good against these is:

(R) Subjugate Trundle drains 20/27.5/35 (+2% Ability Power)% of an enemy champion's maximum Health as Magic Damage and 40% of their Armor and Magic Resist, half immediately and half over 4 seconds. The Armor and Magic Resist is returned 4 seconds after the drain ends.

You blow up the tank.

Max Q - Chomp, W - Frozen Domain, R - Subjugate then E - Pillar of Ice(all skill info and names are below)

Support Guide: Best vs. Leona Start with item 3302 and item 2010 summoner 3 summoner 4 Support masteries 0/9/21 I run movement speed quints. I bet it's VERY important. AD, armor, mr for the rest. Best with Caitlyn Vayne

The strategy is to hide in the bushes. You won't be able to peel, since you're not really tanky. All in at 6.

Reason: Passive: King's Tribute When an enemy unit dies near Trundle, he heals for a percent of its maximum Health.

As long as you don't get poked, the minions dying will allow you to sustain. Then, build item 1001 (he's melee) item 1036 to item 3078 or item 3153 Trinity and Botrk are main items. boots: item 3047 item 3111 And of course, do a late item 2049 as well as fully upgraded item 3401 After that: item 3102 item 3105 item 3143 item 3026 item 3075 item 3065 Never get: item 3068 item 3074 item 3068: doesn't give any ad, which is VERY important item 3074: Trundle wave clears incredibly fast, also has good healing from passive. item 3153 is just far better.

So why item 3078 ?

Q: Chomp Trundle bites his opponent, dealing damage, briefly slowing and sapping some of their Attack Damage.

Also procs item 3057 (and you get more mana) , gets speed boost from item 3044, gets speed, attack speed, and burst potential from item 3086

With item 3078 item 3153 , you destroy towers REALLY fast. Split push with adc, to take down towers.

In teamfights: Ult the tank Shyvana, be sure to ping to target her.

E: Pillar of Ice Trundle creates an icy pillar at target location for 6 seconds, becoming impassable terrain and slowing all nearby enemy units by 30/35/40/45/50%.

This is a very important skill. It also counts as terrain so... Vayne :)

And yeah! that's all there really is to it.

Jungle Guide: This is what I used to get S+, Masteries: 21/6/3 - dmg, some tank for the jungle, and movement speed Optionally, 21/0/9 - dmg and the increased buff Runes: same as support Summoners: summoner 11 summoner 4 Rush item 3707 (without enchantment) after first back. Start toad, then blue(he runs out of mana quickly). then item 1001 item 1036 item 2003, maybe item 2043 go for item 1036 item 1036 then either item 3153 or first item 3044 then item 3057 second item: item 3707 (with enchantment) third item: finish item 3078 item 3153 A HUGE power spike at this time. Reason: item 3153 - allows you to duel, take down towers, stop the other jungler. Also has good lifesteal and can help you escape ._. item 3044 then item 3057 - gives movement speed and burst, as well as health and mana. If you give away your blue, this is very important. 2nd item - item 3707 - has very good stats, so should be your second item. CD reduce, dmg armor pen.

W: Frozen Domain Trundle turns target location into his domain, gaining Attack Speed, Movement Speed, and increased healing from all sources while on it.

This is important for jungling. However, it is very noticeable, turning an area about half the screen into ice. Placement is important. You're going to have to use this skill often when jungling. Q - Chomp, too. Never use E - Pillar of Ice, to jungle. Also, if you don't need to use W - Frozen Domain for the heal, don't use it.

For ganks: Chilling smiteitem 3707 , and you probably need to have red. Drop the E - Pillar of Ice after they flash, or before to force it. if they are too far, don't use it at all(it's a mana killer). Q - Chomp also procs sheen or red, it also adds it's own slow. Run in with W - Frozen Domain, and Q - Chomp. Don't drop E - Pillar of Ice, unless you think it's guaranteed flash or kill, R - Subjugate, if you know their jungler isn't around(otherwise, it'll be better to use it on jungler). After that: item 3102 item 3105 item 3143 item 3026 item 3075 item 3065 also: item 3047 is far better than item 3111 when jungling. Reduces dmg from jungle.

For top: Probably only want to counter-pick. Trundle gets countered hard in lane. Teemo item 3074 AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL, his heal is already good and he doesn't need the wave clear Trundle can CS very easily with Q - Chomp. Chomp increases damage, and can be used nearly instantly after attacking.

Reason: Since you should only be counter-picking with him, you should not have any problems pushing lane.

Don't try to fight until Level 6, trundle is weak pre-6. At 6, go allin, and bully "Riven" out of lane. After 6, R - Subjugate can be used to easily trade.

Summoners: summoner 12 summoner 14 summoner 4 No summoner 6, trundle either gets a Q - Chomp slow, and pushes out of lane, or insta-gibs. In other words, never chase unless guaranteed kill or flash Start: item 1055 or item 1054 Rush: item 3047 and item 3153 then: item 1315 item 3082 or item 3044 item 3057 item 3086 to item 3078

Why item 1315item 3082? since you don't have phage, you're much slower, and can't finish off opponents. Warden's mail is typically the best item to get, it makes basic attacks slower, and gives good armor. Also, health is not generally needed, since Trundle can heal so fast. R - Subjugate also steals health and armor, making it super super useful.

When item 3078? Sheen and phage give trundle some burst potential: remember, Q - Chomp procs sheen. Chomp, run and finish. I don't think I need to explain the difference between tank and burst... After that: item 3102 item 3105 item 3143 item 3026 item 3075 item 3065 and eventually finish item 3078

TrundleTrundle the Tower Eater The possibly best reason to get Trundle is his ability to destroy towers incredibly fast. With: item 3078 item 3153

It'll take him about 45 seconds to take down a shield turret and inhib turret from max health, alone.

The reason is his Q - Chomp, it damages the tower, and increases his ad. That in combination with the increased attack speed from the two core damage items, allows him to eat towers before the enemy team even has time to react. Movement speed Quints OP

Edit 1: changed some things for the pro play post Edit 2: Trundle the tower eater section... xD

45 seconds if you only have those 2 items, but late game, I've literally killed a tower in 8 seconds from full health with item 3074 item 3153 item 3078 for damage and item 3110 item 3065 item 3111 for durability. I was sitting at a huge amount of AS and with so much CDR almost every other hit was a sheen empowered Q.
