Volibear vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's high early agency and lane pressure to deny Trundle a passive lane and force early health leads.
This matchup is a snowball fight where Volibear must leverage early brawls and level 6 dive threat to control the lane.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by landing (Q) stun and follow with (E) to slow and shield, aiming to hit second (W) for healing.
Punish Trundle when he steps into (Q) range or after he uses (E), as his control drops.
Avoid ending trades before second (W) value or if (Q) cannot connect, as this weakens Volibear's sustain and damage.

Danger windows

Respect (W) zone where he gains movement, attack speed, and healing; avoid extended fights inside it.
Be cautious when (E) pillar is available to block escape or create chase angles.
Avoid committing to fights when (Q) is on cooldown, as Volibear's engage and stun are limited.

Early game

Start trades with (Q) to force contact and place (E) to slow and shield during fights.
Extend trades only if second (W) healing can be secured to outlast Trundle's sustain.
Avoid chasing through minion waves where (Q) cannot reach Trundle, as this wastes engage potential.

Power spikes

At level 3, use the full ability combo (Q)+(W)+(E) to threaten extended trades and force Trundle into unfavorable fights.
At level 6, leverage (R) to dive or force recalls by threatening tower dives with extra durability and damage.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) which steals resistances; avoid prolonged fights during its duration and punish when it is down.

Win conditions

Snowball early lane pressure by forcing health leads with (Q) and securing second (W) healing in trades.
Use level 6 (R) to convert health leads into tower dives or force Trundle off the wave.
Maintain durable brawls and extended fights where Volibear's sustain and shield outlast Trundle's damage and healing.
