K'Sante vs Trundle

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane by managing (Q) stacks and using terrain to threaten displacement and isolation.
Maintain medium lane pressure to prevent Trundle from freely scaling or forcing extended trades.
Prioritize front-line control and target isolation in teamfights, leveraging terrain for (R) plays.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades when (Q3) is ready and (W) is available to absorb damage and control space.
Punish Trundle after he uses (W) or (E), as his damage reduction and zone control drop.
Reserve (R) for isolated fights where terrain enables a winning duel, avoiding use against stronger duelists.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (Q3) or (W) are down, as your engage and durability drop significantly.
Avoid fighting near (W) zone where he gains healing and attack speed.
Watch for (E) pillar placement that can cut off your escape or force unfavorable positioning.

Early game

Focus on stacking (Q) and using short trades around those stacks to chip Trundle's health.
Avoid committing without (W) ready to absorb damage and enable displacement.
Use (E) smartly to shield and reposition, especially to escape (E) pillar slow or forced paths.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Trundle near terrain and turn fights by transforming into a duelist.
After completing your first tank item, trade aggressively around (Q) stacks and preserve (W) for key moments.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) stat drain by avoiding extended fights and kiting out its value.

Win conditions

Use terrain angles to stack (Q) and threaten displacement, denying Trundle safe scaling.
Engage with (R) only when you can isolate Trundle for a favorable duel or peel effectively in teamfights.
Control space front-line while preserving cooldowns to punish Trundle's cooldown windows and avoid extended trades inside his (W).
