How to win lane as Pantheon against Trundle · 51.18% win rate over 467 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Pantheon | Your level-1 W stun is point-and-click damage he can't dodge, and his Q bite hasn't stolen enough AD to blunt your burst yet. |
| Level 2 | Pantheon | At level 2 your W+Q all-in spikes hard while Trundle has no engage or escape to answer it. |
| Level 3 | Pantheon | With all three basics you E-block his bite, W-stun, and Q-burst — your cleanest kill window before his sustain stabilizes. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | His drain sustain is online and his Pillar walls your W-gap — your poke still pressures but the solo-kill window closes to even. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Grand Starfall is a roam tool, not a duel button, and his immobile frame can't follow you — pressure is even and decided by map, not the 1v1. |
| First item | Even / skill | Your first-item spike and his are close; he sustains through your burst behind Pillar, so neither side clearly owns the lane. |
| Two+ items | Trundle | His R steals your resists, his Q caps your AD, and his sustain ignores your plateaued burst — he reclaims the late game decisively. |
Levels 1-3 are yours. Your point-and-click W stun and Q poke beat his early game flat — he has no answer to a level-1 or level-2 all-in before his Q bite steals meaningful AD. Use E to block his Q bite mid-trade so it neither damages you nor heals him as much, then W-stun and Q-burst. Watch his Pillar (E): he'll drop it behind you to block your retreat or in front to wall your W, so commit your dash with an escape angle in mind.
