Ivern vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ivern's unique camp marking to deny Trundle camps without risking direct duels early.
Prioritize pathing around lanes that can capitalize on your root (Q), shield slow (E), and Daisy for gank follow-up.
This is a control vs splitpush matchup where Ivern must avoid extended fights and focus on utility scaling and objective setups.

Jungle Plan

Use creative routing to mark and deny camps, especially on the opposite side of the map from Trundle's expected pathing.
Contest dragon and Rift Herald setups only when your lanes have priority and can assist in skirmishes.
Track Trundle's position closely to counter-gank his early river or lane pressure attempts, leveraging Daisy and (Q) root for follow-up.

Danger windows

Beware of Trundle's early invade attempts around first Scuttle when he has lane priority and pillar (E) to trap you.
Avoid fighting near terrain where Trundle can block escape routes with (E) pillar during skirmishes.
Be cautious during objective setups when forced smite fights occur, as Trundle's dueling and sustain are strong in these windows.

Early game

Start with a safe clear route that allows marking camps and delaying pickups to avoid early Trundle invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and collapse on Trundle.
Avoid isolated river fights early as Trundle's dueling and invade resistance are high; play around lane priority for counter-ganks.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) Daisy knockup to enable strong ganks and objective fights; coordinate with teammates to capitalize.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) stat drain power spike; avoid extended duels when he targets tanky allies.
Exploit Trundle's lower dueling power before his first dueling item by denying camps and forcing him into reactive pathing.

Win conditions

Convert denied camps and creative pathing into tempo advantage to secure vision and objective control.
Use (Q) root, (E) shield slow, and Daisy to enable ganks and counter-ganks on lanes with priority.
Focus on scaling utility by protecting carries and facilitating grouped objective fights where Ivern's utility outmatches Trundle's dueling.
