Trundle vs Olaf

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Trundle's medium early agency and lane pressure to force extended melee trades inside (W) against Olaf.
Focus on splitpushing and denying Olaf a calm scaling lane by forcing fights where Trundle can use (R) to steal resistances and sustain.

Trading pattern

Start trades by hitting (Q) to reduce Olaf's attack damage, then fight inside (W) to amplify healing and damage.
Use (E) to pillar Olaf when he tries to chase or disengage, punishing his low mobility.
Save (R) for when Olaf is durable and committed, draining his resistances to win extended fights.

Danger windows

Olaf is dangerous when he lands (Q) and picks it up, enabling strong chase; avoid extended trades during this window.
Be cautious when Olaf activates (R) as he ignores slows and pillar, making disengage tools ineffective.
(W) shield and (E) true damage increase his burst; avoid fighting when these cooldowns are available and combined.

Early game

Play for medium early agency by engaging in trades when (W) is up to maximize healing and attack speed.
Avoid fighting Olaf immediately after he uses (Q) to slow and before he picks it up again.
Use (E) to cut off Olaf's escape paths when he commits to trades, forcing longer duels.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Olaf to steal health and resistances; force fights here before Olaf can disengage.
After Trundle's first dueling item, pressure side lanes and force isolated fights inside (W).
Respect Olaf's level 6 (R) which grants crowd control immunity; avoid fighting him when he can ignore your slows and pillar.

Win conditions

Force extended duels inside (W) where Trundle's healing and damage steal outscale Olaf's burst.
Use (E) pillar to trap Olaf or block escape routes, setting up (R) to drain his tankiness.
Push side lanes aggressively after first item to pressure towers and force Olaf into unfavorable isolated fights.
