Track: Trundle's R — Subjugate (120–80s cooldown). Steals your stats. Burst him before 6.
Read from Pantheon's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Trundle.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Your level-1 Shield Vault is point-and-click damage he cannot dodge, and Chomp has not sapped enough AD yet to blunt your burst. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | At level 2 your W+Q all-in spikes hard while Trundle has no engage and no escape. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With all three basics you face Aegis Assault at Chomp, W-stun, and Q-burst — your cleanest window before his sustain. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Frozen Domain is online and Pillar of Ice walls your dash — your poke still pressures but the solo-kill window closes. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Grand Starfall is a roam tool, not a duel button, and his immobile frame cannot follow — the map decides this one, not the 1v1. |
| First item | Even / skill | Frozen Domain sustains him through your burst behind Pillar of Ice, and the first-item stage already tips to Trundle. |
| Two+ items | Trundle | Subjugate steals your resists and doubles it over 4 seconds, Chomp caps your AD, and his sustain ignores your plateaued burst. |
Levels 1-3 are yours. Your point-and-click Shield Vault and Comet Spear beat his early game flat — he has no answer to a level-1 or level-2 all-in before Chomp steals meaningful AD. Chomp is a 3.5-second auto reset at 300 range, so the wind-up is your cue to step back, not the cast. Face Aegis Assault as it lands, then W-stun and burst. Pillar of Ice (21s at rank 1) is terrain: behind you it blocks the retreat, in front it walls your dash.

Start Doran's Blade + Health Potion and back for Executioner's Calling (≈800g) — cuts his healing. Build Eclipse (lethality burst) first, then Sundered Sky, with Plated Steelcaps.
