Rek'Sai vs Trundle

Updated Jun 5, 2026

Overview

Rek'Sai excels at early jungle pressure and should leverage her fast clears and tunnels to outpace Trundle.
Prioritize early invades and river control to deny Trundle's steady clear and contest Scuttle Crabs aggressively.
This is a snowball matchup where Rek'Sai must capitalize on early tempo to prevent Trundle's mid-game dueling strength.

Jungle Plan

Use tunnel paths to set up surprise ganks on flashless or overextended lanes before Trundle reaches level 6.
Invade Trundle's jungle early when lanes have priority and Trundle shows on the opposite side of the map.
Control river vision and contest dragon setups to force Trundle into reactive plays and deny his objective control.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights around level 6 when Trundle can use (R) and (E) to trap and stat drain.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority as Trundle's pillar and sustain make forced smite fights risky.
Rek'Sai is vulnerable during low-health clears; track Trundle's position to avoid counter-invades.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear into early gank or invade to maximize Rek'Sai's level 3 power spike.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to support or counter-gank.
Avoid extended fights without vision as Trundle's sustain and dueling power can punish isolated Rek'Sai.

Power spikes

Rek'Sai's level 3 with knockup and tunnel mobility is a strong early gank and invade window.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) for stat drain; avoid fighting him when he ults a tanky target.
Rek'Sai should use her early item power spike to force fights before Trundle's dueling and sustain scale up.

Win conditions

Convert early tunnel ganks and invades into objective control and lane snowballs before Trundle stabilizes.
Use superior mobility to counter-gank and punish Trundle's extended duels outside his (W) zone.
Deny Trundle free farm and camps to delay his scaling and reduce his impact in mid-game fights.
