Read from Darius's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Trundle.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Darius | Chomp is a 300-range bite and his only early tool, so your Hemorrhage poke and pull threat win level 1. |
| Level 2 | Darius | At two Chomp's 3.5s AD sap still can't out-trade your bleed. |
| Level 3 | Darius | Level 3 Apprehend pulls him off Frozen Domain for a full combo. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Through 4-5 stacked Hemorrhage outpaces King's Tribute every exchange. |
| Level 6 | Darius | At 6 Guillotine's true damage ignores the armour Subjugate steals off you. |
| First item | Darius | First item Stridebreaker keeps you glued despite Chomp's slow and Pillar of Ice. |
| Two+ items | Trundle | By two-plus items Trundle's AD sap, Frozen Domain healing and Subjugate's theft out-sustain your five stacks in a long duel, taking the lane. |
Levels 1-2 Trundle has only a 300-range Chomp and King's Tribute — poke with Decimate and threaten the pull; he can't punish you.

Darius takes Conqueror on the Precision tree with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Last Stand, and Resolve secondary (Bone Plating and Unflinching) vs Trundle.
Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — protects your execute math. Build Stridebreaker (the stickiness fix — run-downs become lethal) first, then Sterak's Gage / Dead Man's Plate, with Plated Steelcaps.
