Mordekaiser vs Trundle

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Mordekaiser controls the lane by forcing extended trades where (E) pull sets up isolated (Q) damage and passive ticks.
Manage lane pressure to prevent Trundle from establishing long fights inside his (W) zone and avoid giving him easy splitpush opportunities.

Trading pattern

Start trades by threatening or landing (E) to pull Trundle into your passive range and follow up with isolated (Q).
Keep trades extended only when your passive is active or (W) shield is stocked to maximize sustain and damage.
Avoid engaging when (E) is on cooldown or Trundle can kite outside your passive range to prevent unfavorable trades.

Danger windows

Respect (W) zone where he gains healing and movement advantages; avoid fighting inside it without your (W) shield ready.
Be cautious when Trundle has (E) available to block your escape or reposition, as missing your (E) pull lowers your threat.
Avoid extended trades if Trundle has his (R) available and you lack health or item advantage, as he can outlast you.

Early game

Use early waves to threaten (E) pulls and force Trundle into melee range where your passive and (Q) isolated damage excel.
Avoid committing to trades if (E) misses, as your engage threat drops significantly before level 6.
Prioritize reaching level 6 to unlock (R) and create forced isolated duels against Trundle.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) after landing or threatening (E) to isolate Trundle and force duels he cannot escape.
After your first AP bruiser item, force longer trades where your sustained damage and (W) shield outmatch Trundle's healing.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) which drains your resistances; avoid extended fights during its duration.

Win conditions

Use wave control and (E) pull pressure to force Trundle into extended trades favoring your passive and (Q) isolated damage.
At level 6, isolate Trundle with (R) to deny his healing and stat steal benefits in a 1v1 duel.
Maintain (W) shield uptime and item power spikes to win sustained fights and prevent Trundle from splitpushing effectively.
