Trundle vs Nunu & Willump

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Trundle thrives by forcing extended duels and using (R) to steal tank stats, so prioritize fights around durable targets to outduel Nunu & Willump.
Control river vision aggressively to deny Nunu's (W) gank angles and contest Scuttle Crabs for early objective leverage.

Jungle Plan

Use early dueling strength to invade Nunu after tracking his first clear and when nearby lanes have priority.
Fight for first Scuttle Crab aggressively when lanes can follow to deny Nunu's objective control and snowball potential.
Use (E) to block escape routes during counter-jungling attempts and force Nunu into unfavorable fights near your vision control.

Danger windows

Respect Nunu's early gank threat with (W) from fog; avoid overextending without vision to prevent being caught.
Be cautious contesting objectives when Nunu has lane priority and can start dragon or Herald with (Q) plus Smite.
Avoid low-health clears near river or isolated camps where Nunu can force smite fights or counter-invade with CC chain.

Early game

Start with a path that leads to early river Scuttle contest to challenge Nunu's objective control and limit his tempo.
Avoid isolated 1v1 fights early since Nunu's sustain and (W) mobility make him slippery; instead, coordinate with lanes to punish his ganks.
Prioritize clearing camps near lanes with priority to enable safe counter-ganks and invade windows against Nunu's predictable paths.

Power spikes

Level 6 is critical: use (R) on Nunu or his tankiest ally to turn duels in your favor and punish his limited dueling power.
First completed dueling item enhances your ability to pressure side lanes and force Nunu into reactive plays.
Post-level 6, Trundle's sustained damage and healing inside (W) outscale Nunu's burst, so look for extended fights especially near objectives.

Win conditions

Convert early river control and Scuttle dominance into secure dragon and Rift Herald setups to deny Nunu's objective tempo.
Use your superior dueling and (R) stat steal to pressure side lanes, force Nunu to respond, and create map pressure.
Leverage (E) pillar to trap Nunu during ganks or counter-jungling, then force fights inside (W) to maximize your healing and damage output.
