Trundle vs Taliyah

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Trundle's strong early dueling and high invade resistance let him contest river and camps aggressively against Taliyah's medium early pressure.
Focus on controlling river scuttles and using pillar to trap Taliyah in narrow jungle paths where she struggles to kite.
This matchup favors Trundle's extended fights and objective control over Taliyah's poke and roam-oriented playstyle.

Jungle Plan

Use pillar to cut off Taliyah's escape routes near objectives or river chokes when lanes have priority.
Invade and counter-invade camps when Taliyah is spotted on the opposite side or after she spends (W) and (E) to limit her mobility and zone control.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can pressure or counter-gank to avoid being collapsed on by her high gank threat and map mobility.

Danger windows

Be cautious contesting river fights before level 6 when Taliyah's displacement (W) and slow (E) can punish melee engages.
Avoid low-health clears near enemy vision as Taliyah can use her mobility and displacement to force smite fights or counter-invades.
Watch for Taliyah roaming with (R); hard push and take plates or camps to punish her absence and prevent cross-map pressure.

Early game

Start with a clear path that leads toward early river control to contest or secure first Scuttle against Taliyah's medium clear speed.
Avoid fighting Taliyah in open jungle areas early where her (W) and (E) can punish predictable movement.
Prioritize camps near lanes with priority to enable pillar setups and counter-ganks before level 6 power spikes.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Taliyah or her durable teammates to steal resistances and health, turning duels heavily in your favor.
First completed dueling item enhances your ability to force side-lane fights and tower pressure, exploiting Taliyah's weaker extended fight potential.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 (R) for map plays; avoid isolated fights when her ultimate is available to prevent being cut off or collapsed on.

Win conditions

Convert early river and Scuttle control into dragon and Rift Herald setups, using pillar to trap Taliyah and her team in choke points.
Use your superior dueling and sustain inside (W) to deny Taliyah jungle camps and force her into defensive pathing.
Leverage (R) stat drain in teamfights to neutralize enemy tanks, enabling your team to win front-line skirmishes and secure objectives.
