How to play it

✓ DO

Respect his pillar

His pillar plus Q slow let him run you down — don't overextend a trade he can chase.

All-in on your wave

With the wave on your side, space at max E range for an extended trade, then all-in from high HP.

He stat-checks you

He steals your armor and lowers your AD, so burst him from high HP rather than dragging out an even fight.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never 1v1 Trundle after his first items — he gets stronger every game minute and his sustain is huge.
