How to win the jungle race as Trundle against Talon · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Read from Trundle's seat: the race windows this plan plays for against Talon.
| Stage | Read | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Clear | Trundle Dominant | Chomp (Q) steals AD on hit, so your level-1 trade is rigged in your favor. The Noxian Diplomacy bleed wins short trades at shared entrances, and before either of you has a second camp down that is not an answer. Take the level-1 crossing and make Talon 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 Talon wins right now — Rake's return damage makes mid-range poke trades free for them, 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 the Q-W bleed burst plus wall-hop angles start fights you never saw coming. But as the first scuttle timer lands none of it is online, so take the level-3 river fight and tax every camp Talon concedes. |
| Levels 4-5 Macro | Trundle Dominant — Keep Fighting | Nothing about 4-5 helps Talon here: he wall-hops through 4-5 into lanes that have pushed, and the Rake slow closes every remaining gap, while you can take any duel you can reach. Invade on the clear-timer, not on a whim. |
| Level 6 Breakpoint | Subjugate Favoured | Subjugate drains max health and resists, rigging any extended duel in your favor, while Shadow Assault stealth plus converging blades burst anyone they touch. You win the breakpoint against Talon, not the whole game — cash it on the first objective after both sides hit six. |
| 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. Talon's first item is the point where the bleed rotation goes from a heavy chunk to a full kill on a squishy. |
| 2+ Items Scaling | Trundle Favoured at Full Build | Two items on, the edge is yours. The one thing to plan around is that he removes an isolated carry and leaves over a wall before anyone reacts — take that away and the fight is a formality. |
Start your clear at the Red Buff camp utilizing your Chomp AD steal to maximize early clear speed. Talon clears fast with Rake and Noxian Diplomacy bleeds, and the wall-hops mean his path is shorter than yours.
