Jungle Plan

Isolated river fights where Trundle can use pillar to block escape and force fights inside his zone.
Forced smite fights on dragon or Herald when Trundle's sustained damage and dueling excel; only contest with lane priority and vision control.

Early game

Avoid early river fights unless your nearby lanes have clear priority to contest Scuttle or counter-invade.

First AP item boosts clear speed and objective damage; leverage this by cycling camps quickly and arriving early to dragons or Herald.
Respect Trundle's level 6 which drains resistances; avoid extended duels and kite out its value to minimize his stat steal.

Win conditions

Use vision and tracking to avoid Trundle's early invade attempts and punish overextensions with cross-map camp trades.
Scale into late game where your global damage and objective-area DPS decide fights without risking isolated duels against Trundle.
