Favour timeline — the windows in Trundle's game plan

Read from Trundle's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Urgot.

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillQ Chomp immediately steals Urgot's AD — his shotgun legs need autos to proc and you are already draining the damage those autos deal before either of you hits level 2.
Level 2UrgotYou own the level 2 window if Frozen Domain is already down when Urgot's E flip lands — walk back onto the ice and punish him while he is without a dash.
Level 3Even / skillBoth kits are fully online and Urgot's E flip makes this a skill matchup — he disrupts your domain, you disrupt his retreat path with Pillar, and neither side can force a clean kill.
Levels 4-5Even / skillUrgot can Purge you from 490 range and Echoing Flames triggers off it, so four-to-five second trades are coin-flip territory without your W down. His W cost falls every rank too — 40 mana at 1, nothing at 5.
Level 6UrgotLevel 6 is your clearest window — Subjugate opens by draining armor and MR immediately, making every subsequent Chomp auto hit harder; but Urgot's R execute threat means you cannot afford to let the fight drag past his health threshold.
First itemEven / skillTrinity Force Spellblade procs off every Chomp and spikes your burst substantially, but Urgot's first-item tanking (Heartsteel or Steelcaps) answers your physical damage before the lane decides either way.
Two+ itemsEven / skillAt two-plus items Urgot's health stacking makes him hard to finish, but Echoing Flames is physical and the armour Subjugate moves onto you still cuts it. The real reason to skip the duel is Purge: at rank 5 it costs nothing and has no cooldown at all.

How to beat Urgot as Trundle: the early game

Chomp on his first auto attempt is the correct level-1 opener — the AD sap blunts Purge and Echoing Flames together, because both scale off the damage those autos carry. The problem surfaces at level 2: Disdain can hurl you backward before Frozen Domain is even placed, so drop W at your feet the moment you hit 2 and stand so a flip lands you back inside the zone or on its edge. Disdain is 16s at rank 1 and shields him as he charges, so it is his opener as much as his exit. Purge costs 40 mana on 12s at rank 1 — that is the window where his poke is genuinely limited, and the one you have to cash.
