Nunu & Willump vs Trundle

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Prioritize objective control and repeated ganks to leverage Nunu & Willump's superior early game pressure and objective secure.
Avoid isolated duels with Trundle; instead, force fights where (W) and allied CC create a numbers advantage.
Use fast clears and snowball angles to contest river and deny Trundle early Scuttle and dragon access.

Jungle Plan

Path to gank lanes where (W) can catch Trundle or his laners off-guard, then transition quickly to dragon or Rift Herald if lanes have priority.
Contest first Scuttle only if your lanes can move first and provide counter-gank support; otherwise, focus on fast clears and vision control.
Track Trundle’s pathing to counter-gank his early river pressure and avoid direct fights without lane or numerical advantage.

Danger windows

Beware of early isolated river fights where Trundle’s dueling and (E) pillar can trap you without lane support.
Avoid low-health clears or forced Smite fights when Trundle is nearby and lanes lack priority.
Respect windows when Trundle’s (W) is active, as he gains healing and movement speed that strengthen his dueling and objective control.

Early game

Start with a full clear using (Q) to maintain health and tempo, then move early to contest Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority.
Avoid early invades against Trundle's strong dueling and invade resistance unless you have lane support or vision advantage.
Use (W) from fog to gank overextended lanes and convert successful ganks into immediate objective pressure.

Power spikes

At first dragon or Herald spawn, use (Q) plus Smite to secure objectives rapidly after successful ganks.
At level 6, layer (R) after (W) or allied CC to zone and punish Trundle caught in your crowd control chain.
Respect Trundle’s level 6 (R) power spike by avoiding extended fights on durable targets and kiting out his stat drain effect.

Win conditions

Convert repeated ganks and superior objective control into early dragon and Rift Herald leads to snowball map pressure.
Use (W) angles from fog to create numbers advantages for ganks and force Trundle into unfavorable fights.
Deny Trundle free farm and scaling by tracking his jungle path, counter-jungling when lanes have priority, and forcing him out of river control.
