Read from Vladimir's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Trundle.
This is Vladimir's own plan; across 294 pooled games the lane is leaning Trundle.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Trundle | Trundle's level-1 Q Chomp steals your AD and out-sustains you in an auto trade. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Chomp is a 3.5s auto reset with an AD sap, so he still wins the level-2 walk-up. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Frozen Domain gives him attack speed and boosted healing — do not brawl on it at level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Vladimir | By levels 4-5 your ranked E-Q poke and healing outscale his melee sustain. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Trundle's R Subjugate drain lets him contest your level-6 all-in if you misplay Sanguine Pool. |
| First item | Vladimir | Hemoplague amps your burst, but Subjugate steals resistances back — even. |
| Two+ items | Vladimir | You outscale Trundle hard once items come online with unanswerable ranged damage. |
Trundle can walk up and bite you with Q Chomp at level 1 for a favourable auto trade, since he steals attack damage and out-sustains you before your kit is online. Respect that first-blood window and farm safely with Q Transfusion on cooldown. Don't flash-poke into his contact range early. Once you have E rank two your sustain flips the lane.
