Viktor vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Viktor is a scaling control mage who must manage wave control and item upgrades to dominate teamfights.
Avoid giving Trundle long melee trades inside his (W) zone where he thrives on sustain and stat steal.

Trading pattern

Trade with (E) poke and (Q) shield, keeping (W) for zoning and disengage to avoid being trapped by (E) pillar.
Punish Trundle when his (W) is down by stepping up for short trades before he can engage.
Avoid extended trades inside (W) where Trundle's sustain and stat drain from (Q) and (R) overpower you.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Trundle fights inside his (W) zone with (E) ready to block escapes and (R) available to drain your resistances.
Avoid all-ins when your (W) is down, as you lose your main disengage and zone control.
Watch for (E) pillar placement that can trap or cut off your escape routes, especially combined with jungle ganks.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and using (E) to poke without committing to extended trades before level 6.
Use (Q) shield to mitigate damage when trading short bursts and keep (W) ready to disengage from (E) pillar setups.
Avoid fighting inside (W) zone early, as he gains healing and attack speed there.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for zone control and to threaten picks or disengages; respect (R) by avoiding all-ins during its duration.
After completing your first mage item and evolving abilities, increase pressure with stronger poke and wave control.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) power spike that greatly reduces your resistances and health during duels.

Win conditions

Survive early pressure by using (Q) shield and (W) zone control, then scale into mid and late game with evolved abilities and items.
Use (E) poke to keep Trundle at bay and prevent him from forcing extended trades inside his (W).
Leverage your ultimate (R) in teamfights and skirmishes to control space and punish Trundle's lack of mobility and burst damage.
