Master Yi vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to reach item spikes quickly and avoid early fights against Trundle's strong dueling power.
Avoid early river contests unless your lanes have clear priority to prevent losing tempo to Trundle's high invade resistance.
This is a scale versus mid-game duel matchup where Master Yi must farm safely and punish Trundle's overextensions after key cooldowns are spent.

Jungle Plan

Focus on full clears and avoid early fights; invade only if Trundle shows on opposite side and lanes can assist.
Contest Scuttle only when lanes can move first and Trundle is not nearby to prevent losing tempo.
Use strong reset potential post-level 6 to clean up low-health skirmishes after enemy CC is used and force objective plays.

Danger windows

Avoid early river fights where Trundle's dueling and invade resistance are strongest.
Beware isolated skirmishes near objectives where Trundle can use (E) to block escape and (R) to drain stats.
Be cautious when clearing camps low health or forced smite fights where Trundle's sustain and damage can outmatch you.

Early game

Start full clear to maximize camp tempo and delay early river fights where Trundle excels.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority and Trundle is not nearby to avoid losing tempo.
Track Trundle's pathing to avoid counter-invades and choose cross-map camps when river control is contested.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to chase and reset on low-health targets after enemy crowd control is committed.
After first item, increase camp clear speed and objective damage to punish messy fights and accelerate scaling.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) which steals resistances; avoid extended duels when it is available and active.

Win conditions

Maintain high jungle tempo with full clears to reach item spikes faster than Trundle.
Use reset potential from (R) to clean up fights after enemy CC is spent and secure objectives.
Counter-jungle safely when Trundle commits to side lanes or is visible, denying his stat-steal advantage and objective control.
