Nocturne vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Prioritize full clears to hit level 6 on schedule and unlock your global pressure with (R).
Use your post-6 pick threat to punish Trundle's lower mobility and force him off key objectives.
Manage fights around your (W) spell shield to win duels against Trundle's strong stat-stealing trades.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears toward level 6, then use (R) to gank overextended lanes and create numbers advantages.
Fight for river control and Scuttle when your lanes can respond first, denying Trundle his strong early dueling and objective setups.
Track Trundle's pathing to counter-gank and punish his pillar traps near objectives or narrow jungle exits.

Danger windows

Beware of fighting Trundle inside his (W) zone where he gains healing and attack speed.
Avoid isolated river fights where Trundle can use (E) to block escapes and set up pillar traps.
Be cautious contesting objectives if Trundle has lane priority and can collapse with his strong dueling and sustain.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maintain tempo and avoid early multi-lane collapses where Trundle excels.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support and prevent Trundle's pillar setups.
Avoid direct early invades unless you have vision on Trundle's position and can isolate him away from his lanes.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to initiate picks on Trundle before he can use (R) on tanks, denying his stat steal.
Your high clear speed lets you reach mid-game power spikes faster; leverage this to pressure objectives before Trundle scales.
Respect Trundle's level 6 when he uses (R) on tanky targets, as his dueling strength and sustain spike significantly.

Win conditions

Convert your level 6 ultimate picks into dragon and Rift Herald control by forcing Trundle off objectives.
Use superior clear speed and map pressure to counter-jungle and deny Trundle farm and experience.
Leverage your spell shield (W) to win duels and prevent Trundle from stat-stealing, maintaining pressure through mid-game skirmishes.
