Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillBoth of you are weak level 1 — you have only one ability and no kite chain, he has no dash to punish, so it's a farm standoff at Q range.
Level 2LilliaWith Q+E online your sweetspot move-speed and Swirlseed slow keep you uncatchable while Dream Dust burns a dashless Trundle who can't close.
Level 3LilliaLayering the Q sweetspot, E slow, and compounding DoT lets you chip him faster than his early regen sustains, and he still can't reach you.
Levels 4-5LilliaFull Q rank plus the snowballing DoT is your peak lane window — he must walk through your slow to bite, and every step costs him HP.
Level 6Even / skillYour Lilting Lullaby is a real spike but delayed and jungler-dependent; his level-6 Subjugate also comes online, so the solo kill pressure is even.
First itemEven / skillLiandry's/Riftmaker makes your W and DoT deal percent-HP that races his heal, but his own first tank item starts letting him sustain — call it even.
Two+ itemsTrundleTrundle out-scales you: Subjugate steals your resists and heals him through your entire DoT, and a full drain-tank statchecks your kite once he's online.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Trundle has no dash and no ranged poke, so levels 1-3 are about abusing that — open with Q from range to last-hit, then once you have your Q+E chain you stack the sweetspot, drop a Swirlseed (E) slow on him, and chip with Dream Dust while your movement speed keeps you out of his bite (Q) range. Never walk into his Pillar of Filth (E) — if he walls you against terrain his W move-speed zone lets him close and bite, and a single connected Q chunks you and steals your AD. Bait the pillar, kite around it, and keep him eating burn.
