Read from Trundle's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Vayne.
This is Trundle's own plan; across 344 pooled games the lane is leaning Vayne.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Trundle | Chomp's flat damage and AD steal land before Silver Bolts stacks — bite her on every early last-hit attempt and she loses each one-hit trade. |
| Level 2 | Trundle | Frozen Domain's movement speed lets you stick through her level-2 Tumble and turn a would-be escape into a second Chomp; trade only inside the zone. |
| Level 3 | Trundle | Pillar of Ice cuts the Tumble she kites with — but place it behind her, because Condemn stuns on any terrain, including the pillar you just made. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Silver Bolts true damage is live and she can kite Frozen Domain edges; trade shorter and lean on Pillar to cut her angles rather than chasing freely. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Subjugate at 6 takes 40% of her resists plus a fifth of her max health and heals you the same; Final Hour answers with bonus AD and invisible Tumbles. |
| First item | Even / skill | Kraken Slayer is online but Trinity Force Spellblade on every Chomp keeps pace; the duel is a Pillar-and-Condemn timing game — 21s against 20s, one answer each. |
| Two+ items | Vayne | Guinsoo's rounds Silver Bolts faster and Final Hour pushes Tumble toward a two-second reset — every extended brawl is a losing percentage trade, so shift to team-fight Subjugate. |
At level 1 Chomp is your entire gameplan: step up and bite her on every minion wave so the AD sap lands before Silver Bolts reaches its third hit. She cannot out-trade you in a one- or two-hit exchange because you are taking her own attack damage away. Level 2, drop Frozen Domain the moment she steps forward — the move speed lets you stick through Tumble and turn what should be her escape into another Chomp. By level 3 you have Pillar of Ice, and here is the trap: Condemn stuns anything it knocks into terrain, and your pillar is terrain. Put it behind her, sealing a retreat that Night Hunter never speeds up, and never between the two of you. Count her hits as well as her cooldowns — Condemn adds a Silver Bolts stack, so auto, auto, Condemn is a full round.
