Trundle vs Vayne

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Trundle's strength in extended melee duels to pressure Vayne and deny her safe scaling space.
Control the lane to force long trades inside (W) and avoid letting Vayne kite freely with her high mobility.
This is a splitpush versus scaling marksman matchup; Trundle must prevent Vayne from freely farming and scaling.

Trading pattern

Engage trades inside (W) to maximize healing and attack speed while using (Q) to reduce Vayne's damage.
Use (E) to block Vayne's escape paths or force her into unfavorable positions near walls.
Punish Vayne after she uses (E) to knock back, as her engage and stun cooldown is down.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Vayne has (R) active combined with (Q) stealth for repositioning during fights.
Avoid extended fights outside (W) zone where Trundle's sustain and chase drop, increasing vulnerability.
Respect (E) cooldown; engaging immediately after it is off cooldown risks being stunned against terrain.

Early game

Use early wave control to keep the lane long and set up extended trades where Trundle excels.
Avoid fighting outside (W) to minimize Vayne's ability to kite and punish.
Look for opportunities to place (E) to trap Vayne and reduce her escape options early.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on durable targets to drain resistances and health, making duels easier.
After first dueling item, force side-lane trades inside (W) to pressure towers and punish isolated Vayne.
Respect Vayne's level 6 (R) stealth repositioning and (E) wall stun as windows where she can outplay committed engages.

Win conditions

Force extended melee trades inside (W) and use (Q) and (E) to reduce Vayne's damage and escape.
Use (R) on tanky targets to turn duels in your favor and enable splitpush pressure on side lanes.
Deny Vayne space to kite by controlling wave and terrain, preventing her from scaling safely into late game.
