Trundle vs Ekko

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Trundle's strong early dueling and invade resistance let him contest river and camps against Ekko's medium early pressure.
Prioritize controlling river Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority to leverage Trundle's objective control.
This matchup revolves around denying Ekko's scaling by forcing extended fights and punishing his lower early dueling.

Jungle Plan

Full clear efficiently but prioritize invading Ekko's jungle after tracking his path and lane priority.
Fight for early Scuttle and use (E) to trap Ekko near objectives or narrow jungle exits.
Use lane priority to set up counter-ganks and force Ekko into extended duels inside (W) where you excel.

Danger windows

Beware of (W) stun setup, especially from fog or with lane assistance; avoid isolated river fights during this.
(R) grants him a reset and heal; respect this window by avoiding forced smite fights or all-ins.
Low-health clears or forced objective contests without lane priority increase your risk of losing skirmishes.

Early game

Start with a path toward the first river fight or a lane where (E) pillar can trap Ekko for a kill.
Avoid early river fights if Ekko's lanes lack priority or if he has (R) available to escape.
Contest first Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and support your river control.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) drastically improves your dueling by stealing Ekko's resistances; use it on Ekko or his frontline before committing.
First dueling item completion strengthens your side-lane pressure and extended fights; force trades inside (W) to capitalize.
Ekko's level 3 unlocks his (Q)-(W)-(E) combo, so punish him before this point and avoid extended trades afterward.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling wins and Scuttle control into dragon and Rift Herald advantages to snowball map pressure.
Use (E) pillar to trap Ekko during counter-jungling or ganks, forcing extended fights inside (W).
Deny Ekko's scaling by punishing his early farming and forcing fights before his first AP item spikes.
