Trundle into Zedmedium

Overview

Use Trundle's strong early dueling and high invade resistance to contest river and camps against Zed's weaker early jungle presence.
Prioritize forcing extended fights inside to leverage healing and attack speed.
Manage vision to prevent Zed's roam and all-in threat, using pillar to control escape paths.

Jungle Plan

Path toward river or lanes with priority to contest Scuttle and force fights inside where you excel.
Use pillar to cut off Zed's escape routes during counter-jungling or gank setups.
Prioritize early dragon and Rift Herald control to leverage your objective control and deny Zed scaling.

Danger windows

Respect Zed's level 3 combo and level 6 windows where his burst and mobility peak.
Avoid low-health clears or forced smite fights near river without vision; Zed can punish isolated targets.
Be cautious contesting Scuttle or objectives when nearby lanes lack priority to prevent counter-ganks or invades.

Early game

Start with a steady full clear aiming to hit level 3 quickly to contest first Scuttle when nearby lanes have priority.
Invade or counter-invade only if lanes can follow and can trap Zed's mobile approach.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 to reduce risk from Zed's burst combo and mobility.

Power spikes

Level 6 drastically improves dueling by stealing resistances; target Zed or his durable laners before committing.
First dueling item completion boosts sustain and damage, enabling stronger side-lane pressure and objective sieges.
Track Zed's level 3 unlock of ++ combo to avoid risky fights without or lane priority.

Win conditions

Convert early river control and camp tempo into securing dragon and Rift Herald with lane priority.
Use pillar to trap Zed or block his escape during counter-jungling and ganks to snowball leads.
Force extended duels inside and apply on durable targets to deny Zed's burst and scaling impact in teamfights.
