Trundle vs Gwen

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Trundle's strength in extended melee fights to pressure Gwen and deny her safe scaling trades.
Focus on forcing long trades inside (W) to maximize healing and damage steal while avoiding (W) zone.
Prioritize splitpushing and side-lane pressure to leverage Trundle's dueling and tower-taking potential against Gwen's scaling.

Trading pattern

Engage trades inside (W) to benefit from healing and attack speed, using (Q) to reduce Gwen's damage.
Place (E) to trap Gwen or block her retreat, forcing extended fights where Trundle excels.
Avoid committing when (W) is active as it negates your damage and control; punish cooldowns on (W) for trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Gwen has (W) available, as it blocks your main damage and control, making trades unfavorable.
Avoid extended fights when Gwen has stacked (Q) and her (R) ready, as her damage and chase potential peak.
Watch for Gwen's medium mobility and (R) slow to prevent being kited or caught in unfavorable positions.

Early game

Use early wave control to force Gwen into short trades before she stacks (Q) for damage.
Avoid fighting Gwen inside her (W) mist early; instead, look to trade when (W) is down or poorly timed.
Prepare to use (E) pillar to cut off Gwen's escape or chase paths during early skirmishes.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Gwen or any tanky frontliner to steal resistances and health, turning duels heavily in your favor.
After completing your first dueling item, force side-lane trades inside (W) to pressure towers and punish Gwen's weaker early burst.
Respect Gwen's level 6 (R) spike which adds chase and slow; avoid extended fights when her (R) is fully stacked and active.

Win conditions

Force extended trades inside your (W) to maximize healing, damage steal, and control with (E) and (R).
Use (R) on Gwen or other durable targets to reduce their tankiness and secure duels.
Leverage side-lane pressure and tower damage after winning trades to snowball your lead and control the map.
