How to win lane as Trundle against Yasuo · 51.1% win rate over 456 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Trundle | Chomp on the first trade steals Yasuo's AD before he has any items — the level-1 auto exchange is almost always Trundle's. |
| Level 2 | Trundle | W Frozen Domain movement speed lets Trundle stick to Yasuo through Steel Tempest dashes at level 2, but Yasuo can still Flow-shield the bite, keeping it closer than level 1. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Full kit is online but so is Yasuo's level 3 — he can now chain Steel Tempest to a knockup attempt; the window is even because Last Breath punishes any overstep just as hard as Pillar punishes his. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Both champions are waiting for cooldowns — Trundle wins only if Last Breath is down; Yasuo can farm safely and Flow-shield trades, making this a genuine coin-flip without a cooldown read. |
| Level 6 | Trundle | Subjugate comes online and changes the duel math completely — R early in the all-in and Yasuo cannot survive the stolen resistances plus W sustain even with Shieldbow passive. |
| First item | Even / skill | Yasuo's first item crit spike means a Windwall on Pillar approach or a wasted Subjugate lets him blow Trundle up in a single Last Breath combo — the advantage is real but fragile. |
| Two+ items | Yasuo | Full crit Yasuo with Last Breath and team knockup access is a late-game carry; Subjugate's resistance drain is worth less into an AD dealer than into a tank, and Trundle's window to close the game has passed. |
Level 1 is Trundle's most reliable window in this lane. Open Q and bite Yasuo every time he steps up to last-hit — the AD steal immediately reduces how hard he hits back, and King's Tribute healing from minion deaths means his return autos heal a chunk of what he dealt. Do not chase past the minion wave or he turns with the minion damage backing him; just take the bite-and-out pattern and repeat. At level 2 drop Frozen Domain at your feet the moment he commits — the movement speed lets you stick to him through his Steel Tempest dashes and the attack speed closes the exchange faster than he expects.
