How to win the jungle race as Trundle against Taliyah · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Trundle's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Taliyah.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Trundle Dominant | Chomp (Q) steals AD on hit, so your level-1 trade is rigged in your favor. Threaded Volley on worked ground still chunks melee contests, and before either of you has a second camp down that is not an answer. Take the level-1 crossing and make Taliyah path away from the camps you want. |
| Level 2 Skirmish | Trundle Dominant | Frozen Domain (W) attack speed makes your buff-pit duel one of the best in the game. There is no version of this Taliyah wins right now — boulder-field poke plus the W shove keeps duels at their range, and that folds on the second camp. Show on their side of the river and take the second buff and the tempo that comes with it. |
| Level 3 Route | Trundle Dominant | Pillar (E) cuts the escape; with Q AD-steal and W haste the duel is yours. Later in the game this bites, because a W toss into a stunning boulder field bursts you at every choke point. But as the first scuttle timer lands none of it is online, so take the level-3 river fight and tax every camp Taliyah concedes. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Trundle Dominant — Keep Fighting | You are the stronger side all through 4-5. Taliyah knows it — she uses 4-5 to shove waves and cross the map, with worked ground making her the faster rotator — so shadow that side of the map and make them fight you anyway. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Subjugate Domination | Subjugate drains max health and resists, rigging any extended duel in your favor. Weaver's Wall cuts your retreat path and ships ganks across the map, but in a straight post-6 duel that is not enough: you out-spike Taliyah at this breakpoint, so play the aggressor while it lasts. |
| First Item Spike | Ravenous Hydra Spike | Completing your core item triggers a massive damage, wave clear, and sustain multiplier that completely overpowers traditional brawlers or isolated targets. Taliyah's first item makes the volley-into-shove combo a real burst instead of chip damage from range. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Even Scaling — Prep Decides | Neither of you out-scales the other. She zones with mines and splits the map with the wall whenever she wants to, so the late game is decided by who starts the fight, not who wins the stat sheet. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp utilizing your Chomp AD steal to maximize early clear speed. Taliyah clears very fast with Threaded Volley on worked ground and rotates faster than almost anyone off her passive.
