Kindred vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Kindred's ranged mobility and mark control to contest river fights and secure early marks only when nearby lanes have priority.
Focus on kiting and ranged dueling to punish Trundle's low mobility and avoid extended fights inside his (W) zone.
Prioritize scaling through marks and objective DPS to outpace Trundle's midgame dueling and splitpush threats.

Jungle Plan

Path to secure marks and maintain tempo rather than full clearing, using ranged attacks to contest camps near river when safe.
Fight for first Scuttle when lanes can support, then use vision control to deny Trundle safe access to dragon and Rift Herald.
Track Trundle's early pathing to anticipate his pillar (E) setups and counter-gank his ganks by approaching from unexpected angles.

Danger windows

Beware early river fights where (W) healing and dueling power peak, especially if your lanes lack priority.
Avoid low-health clears near contested objectives to not lose smite fights or get caught by Trundle's pillar (E) and follow-up.
Be cautious when Trundle uses (E) to block escape paths during counter-jungling or ganks; maintain vision and escape routes.

Early game

Start with a clear path that secures early marks and positions for the first Scuttle when your lanes show priority.
Avoid direct invades unless you have vision and lane priority, as Trundle resists early invades well and can punish overextensions.
Contest river Scuttle only if your nearby lanes can move first to reduce counter-gank risk from Trundle's strong dueling.

Power spikes

Kindred spikes at level 6 with (R) for fight resets; use this to extend skirmishes and objective fights safely.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) which steals resistances and health; avoid prolonged duels when he activates it on durable targets.
Trundle's first dueling item powers his splitpush and tower pressure; use your ranged kiting to avoid isolated fights during this window.

Win conditions

Use lane priority to secure marks and control river vision, enabling safe objective setups and denying Trundle's access.
Kite Trundle in river fights using your mobility and ranged damage, forcing him out of extended duels where he excels.
Scale through marks and objective DPS, then leverage (R) to reset fights and secure dragons or Rift Herald for your team.
