Read from Trundle's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Yone.
This is Trundle's own plan; across 834 pooled games the lane is leaning Yone.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Yone | Mortal Steel's 450 range exceeds your melee threat at level 1, and the two-stack cast dashes him in with a knockup, so closing costs you — absorb the poke through King's Tribute and hold. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Spirit Cleave shields him for every champion it hits and its cooldown shortens with his attack speed, so he wins short level-2 trades before your zone is even placed. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | With all three abilities live the matchup is closer — Chomp's AD sap compounds over extended trades inside Frozen Domain, so any fight he stays in past three seconds gets risky for him. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 are skill-dependent on Pillar placement; neither kit has a clean advantage but Yone's E reset gives him the escape card that keeps him from dying to a committed Chomp combo. |
| Level 6 | Trundle | Subjugate at level 6 is your lane-defining spike — the resist drain activates mid-fight and if you Pillar his Soul Unbound snap-back location he cannot leave, making this the one window you clearly win. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is contested — Iceborn Gauntlet extends Chomp's slow into a frost field, while Kraken Slayer's true damage on every third attack starts going through the resistance payoff your kit is built on. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Two-item Yone with Kraken Slayer and Lethal Tempo cuts through your stacked armour and MR, Soul Unbound is down to 10 seconds by rank 5, and his damage ceiling overtakes your sustain. |
Levels 1-2 are genuinely his — Mortal Steel is a 450-range linear thrust you cannot trade into without eating both hits, and at two stacks it dashes him in with a knockup, so stepping up costs more than it looks. Play near the wave, last-hit with Chomp when you can get in cleanly, and hold Pillar of Ice until 3; before that he walks around it or leaves on Soul Unbound. The one bright spot: King's Tribute heals you off every minion that dies nearby, so his poke does less than the health bar suggests.
