trundle top build suggestions?

7ha7guy777·Oct 8, 2014·1 votes·881 views

i've been playing around with trundle against bots and i like how he plays. I prefer to build him for damage first but the games never last long enough for me to start building the tank items. This has been my build order plan in the games i've played > > > > > > > but the game always ends before i get 1 item towards SV is trundle top viable? If so, would this build be effective in a pvp game? final build would be everything above minus dorans and the normal boots

Well your build seems pretty good and all the items are generally good items on trundle Though I am not so sure about Black cleaver and why you would go for that

And you could potentially consider some "mixed" items which have both defensive and offensive stats A good example of this is item 3025 (Iceborn Gauntlet) which works decently well with trundle as he makes good use of the CDR and the sheen effect and well armor can be useful and so can mana

And heal can be a fun summoner spell with the healing increase from spirit visage and frozen domain (W) I am not saying that it is the best but it is fun suddenly getting so much health (even more fun if you throw in ult and BotRK activate)

gauntlet wound be nice if i didn't already build trinity on him. Cleaver is in their to increase my entire team's damage and my health slightly. Bork active + ult + frozen domain after building spirit visage is hilarious. i was at around 200 hp and had a complete health % swap with the enemy gragas

Well it is just that Trundle don't really have a great way of applying black cleaver other then to auto attack all the enemies 5 times to get the cleaver stacks on them

And well you could consider locket item 3190 if the enemy is primarily magic or maybe Maw/Hexdrinker item 3156 or if you are rich you could go for item 3139

Well that build seems mostly fine except for Cleaver (hard to apply but other then that fine) and other then that you need to adapt your build to the situation Is the enemy mostly physical or auto attack reliant you should consider item 3047 and item 3110 and item 3075 but that is something you have to judge after the situation

i guess i could take item 3102 to soak crowd control but the reason i usually take item 3071 as a last item is to replace item 1055 without losing any stats other than the minor lifesteal. games usually don't last long enough for full build, so i guess that last slot is open for whatever is needed in that game at that time.

Well you could consider Bloothirster item 3072 as long as you are hitting something it will probably give you as much if not more health then black cleaver (and it works with Spirit visage and frozen domain (W) )

tested it in 2 teambuilder games so far won lane first game (against ryze), lost the game won lane 2nd game (against gragas), won game, ended up about 1k short of finishing item 3071 his objective killing power is kind of insane once you finish item 3078 W+Q attack resets melts dragon, turrets, and inhibitors

My build is odd but amazing when it comes to sustain. I've had friends say things like "Holy S@#$, I blinked and you're health is full again!"

item 1051 > item 3046 > item 1001 > item 3282

Final Build

item 3046 item 3282 item 3074 item 3072 (if you're facing mostly squishies) item 3153 (If some enemies are health stacking) item 3065 (Final item of choice) I normally get a Frozen Mallet or Shiv. You should see the sustain.

bork active + R while frozen domain is out does some insane health swapping after i finish spirit visage. In the game against gragas, i was at 200 or 300 hp and we pretty much swapped health bars before he knew what hit him

If you do a Q crit at full build while standing in Frozen Domain, your health can jump from 100 to full in a single bite.

It's really insane.

Rush Botrk then build as tanky as you can.

kswimming101Oct 11, 20141 votes

personally, i love trundle and i usually rush a TF first. after that you can build pretty much whatever your team needs. but then again im a non ranked player so....yea. i know that TF and BORK are amazing on him, after that you can go pretty much full tank if need be or if youre ahead and have another tank on team you can go dmg and melt people since your ult makes does a lot more than people expect and makes you tanky as h ell if on the right person

i'm not ranked either. Just got wrecked by a pantheon so it would appear that trundle is most effective against tanky tops and/or champions that don't have an autoattack blocking mechanic. That or sion, panth, leona, graves, and annie have so much cc between them that they pretty much win by default

cc is def hard to play against since no real gap closer. the more you play youll learn how to counter those annoying laners with positioning and calling for ganks.
