How to win lane as Kled against Trundle · 55.94% win rate (143 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Mount up and out-trade the bite — Q-pull the pillar escape and your brave-mode DPS beats his sustain early.
Track: Trundle's R — Subjugate (120–80s cooldown). Steals your stats. Don’t fight into it.
Read from Kled's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Trundle.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Trundle's Q-bite steals your AD and chips you, but neither of you commits at level 1 — preserve mount health and it reads even. |
| Level 2 | Kled | W (Violent Tendencies) comes online and your on-hit shots out-trade a Trundle who only has Chomp — first real punish window. |
| Level 3 | Kled | Your full E-W-E re-E plus the Bear Trap yank bursts him before Frozen Domain is up to heal it — you own level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Kled | Violent Tendencies plus remount sustain out-trades him; Chomp resets every 3.5s and saps AD, so trade in bursts, not grinds. |
| Level 6 | Kled | Chaaaaaaaaarge!!! knocks him into terrain or tower so his W zone can't kite and his R can't save a dead Trundle. |
| First item | Kled | Eclipse sheen plus the Bear Trap yank is your peak — burst him down before his drain-tank items stack. |
| Two+ items | Trundle | Trundle out-scales you: R steals your resistances and heals off you while Q-bite saps your AD, so his sustain grinds you out past two items. |
Trundle's level 1 is annoying — Chomp bites a chunk of your attack damage and slows you on a 3.5-second cooldown, and it resets his attack, so the wind-up is the tell. Preserve Skaarl's mount health and farm to level 2. Then it's yours: Violent Tendencies and the level-3 E-W-E re-E out-trade a Trundle with no burst answer yet — yank in, dump all four attacks, and remount off the damage before Frozen Domain and Pillar of Ice peel you off.
