How to win lane as Trundle against Locke · 50.81% win rate over 248 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Trundle | Chomp bites through the wave, steals his AD and heals you - level 1 is yours. |
| Level 2 | Trundle | At 2 his W Soul Ignition burns his own health to trade while your bite sustain wins the raw HP math. |
| Level 3 | Trundle | Frozen Domain at 3 turns every skirmish into your healing zone with bonus attack and move speed. |
| Levels 4-5 | Trundle | Through 4-5 you stay ahead on stolen stats and sustain - he cannot out-trade you on your ice. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 it is a skill check: Subjugate wins the all-in unless he times R Purgatory to execute you mid-drain. |
| First item | Locke | His first-item burst plus a saved execute totem lets him delete you before your sustain matters. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late fights come down to skill - whether he lands the totem on you after Subjugate or you drain him down first. |
Levels 1-4 are your playground. Chomp heals you and strips his AD while his own W Soul Ignition burns his health bar to trade, so every exchange tilts your way - fight on your ice, Pillar his E Ashen Pursuit escape path, and tax him for every CS he walks up to take.
