Overview

Use Trundle's strength in extended melee duels and stat steal to pressure K'Sante in long trades inside (W).

Use (E) to trap K'Sante or block his displacement angles, forcing him into longer fights.
Save (R) for durable targets like K'Sante to drain resistances and health, punishing his tank form.

Danger windows

Avoid extended fights when your (W) or (R) are on cooldown, as your sustain and control drop significantly.

Use (E) to cut off K'Sante's escape or chase paths early to set up favorable fights.
