| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Trundle | Trundle's Chomp steals your AD and bites through minions, winning every level-1 trade. |
| Level 2 | Trundle | At 2 his sustain and Frozen Domain attack speed still beat your Meditate healing. |
| Level 3 | Trundle | Level 3 Pillar plus Chomp lets him lock and out-trade you before you have items. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are even — both scaling, neither has a clean kill threat yet. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | His level 6 Subjugate drain matches your ult, keeping the fight skill-dependent. |
| First item | Master Yi | Your first item and Wuju true damage finally out-race his Chomp steal. |
| Two+ items | Master Yi | Two-plus items give you true-damage shred and reset snowball that out-scale Trundle. |
Trundle out-trades you at every level from 1-3: his Chomp steals your AD and bites through minions, and his passive plus Frozen Domain give him sustain and attack speed you cannot match with only Meditate. Farm from range, use Alpha Strike (Q) on the wave to stay healthy, and do not step into his Pillar-Domain zone.
