Ryze vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling mage who must manage safe farming and controlled wave states to outscale Trundle's mid-game dueling and splitpush threat.
Avoid giving Trundle long melee trades inside his (W) zone and deny him extended fights where he can use (R) to drain your resistances.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to spread on minions and follow with (Q) for poke, holding (W) to root Trundle if he commits for short trades.
Punish Trundle when his (W) is down by stepping forward to trade before he can heal or gain attack speed.
Avoid extended trades inside his (W) zone and be wary of (E) pillar placement that cuts off your escape; reposition accordingly.

Danger windows

Trundle is most dangerous when fighting inside (W) with (Q) and (R) available; avoid prolonged trades in this window.
Be cautious when Trundle has (E) pillar ready to block escapes or force unfavorable positioning.
Ryze is vulnerable when low on mana or when (W) root is on cooldown; avoid trading or stepping forward in these states.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and use (E) and (Q) to poke when Trundle is outside his (W) zone to avoid extended trades.
Avoid stepping into (W) range without (W) root ready to punish his engage or (E) pillar setup.
Track (E) cooldown to prevent being trapped or forced into unfavorable trades early.

Power spikes

After first mana/AP item, pressure the wave and trades more confidently with sustained spell rotations.
At level 6, use (R) for map plays or defensive resets, avoiding forced all-ins without jungle or vision advantage.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) window where he can drain your resistances; avoid extended fights during this time.

Win conditions

Scale safely through controlled farming and use (E) and (Q) rotations to poke and zone Trundle from extended fights.
Use waveclear to deny Trundle side-lane pressure and leverage (R) for coordinated map plays or escapes.
Avoid long trades inside (W) zone, and punish cooldown windows to maintain lane control and reach late-game teamfight impact.
