Favour timeline — the windows in Fiora's game plan

Read from Fiora's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Trundle.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1TrundleTrundle's base stats and passive sustain make him a real level-1 lane bully -- he heals off the wave and your Vital pokes can't out-trade his early sustain, so he holds a slight edge before your combo comes online.
Level 2FioraYour Vital proc into E (Bladework) slow-and-crit lands before his Chomp (Q) reliably steals your AD -- this is your single cleanest punish window and you win the short trade outright.
Level 3Even / skillEven -- his Chomp sustain and your Vital burst trade roughly equally here, with the AD-steal just starting to shrink your damage as his bite comes online.
Levels 4-5TrundleChomp (Q) plus Frozen Domain (W) let him chase and out-sustain your trades, and Pillar of Ice (E) knocks you out of Lunge re-engage range -- he wins the level 4-5 window.
Level 6FioraGrand Challenge marks all four Vitals and the heal zone lets you out-race his drain -- your one window to flip the all-in while his Subjugate (R) is down.
First itemTrundleSubjugate (R) steals your armor and MR and heals Trundle through your Vitals while Pillar walls your dash -- he out-trades you once he has his first item.
Two+ itemsTrundleHis drain-tank scaling and R resist-steal overtake your true damage and heal your whole combo back, so the late 1v1 is his -- close the map before this.

How to beat Trundle as Fiora: the early game

Trundle has no targeted hard CC, so Riposte (W) cannot be turned into a stun here -- it is a pure damage block, not your usual lockdown answer, so spend it on his Chomp bite or to dodge a committed trade. Your edge is the level 2-3 burst: proc the marked Vital with an auto or Lunge, then E (Bladework) for the guaranteed slow and crit before his Q is reliably up. Bait nothing, just out-trade him while he is squishy -- the moment his Chomp steals your AD, every Vital and crit you throw gets smaller, so front-load your damage. Respect his base sustain, though; he heals off minions even at level 1, so don't grind a long trade you can't finish.
