Vayne vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged spacing and (Q) repositioning to deny Trundle melee trades and avoid his (E) pillar control.
Prioritize scaling through safe farming and punishing Trundle's lack of mobility with kiting and (E) wall stuns.
This is a scaling marksman versus a mid-scaling juggernaut; maintain lane pressure to prevent Trundle's extended trades.

Trading pattern

Trade from max range using autos and (Q) to maintain spacing; only use (E) to punish Trundle's engage attempts or pin him to terrain.
Avoid using (Q) forward when (E) or (R) are available to prevent getting locked down.
Punish Trundle after he wastes (E) or when (W) is down to limit his sustain and chase potential.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Trundle has (E) available to block your escape or set up ganks.
Avoid extended fights inside (W) zone where he gains healing and attack speed.
Stay alert for (R) use on durable targets as it greatly increases his dueling power.

Early game

Keep the wave controlled near your side to avoid being trapped by (E) pillar and ganks.
Use (Q) to kite and poke safely, avoiding pushing without vision to reduce gank risk.
Hold (E) to (E) Trundle into walls when he tries to engage inside his (W) zone.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to gain stealth on (Q) and outplay Trundle's extended trades.
After first major marksman item, increase pressure in side-lane duels exploiting your true damage against Trundle's tankiness.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) which steals resistances; avoid extended fights during its duration.

Win conditions

Use superior range and mobility to kite Trundle, denying him long trades and scaling safely.
Exploit windows when (E) and (W) are down to force short trades or all-ins with (E) wall stuns.
Reach your two-item power spike to dominate side-lane duels and pressure towers, forcing Trundle to respond or lose objectives.
