This is Warwick's own plan; across 236 pooled games the lane is leaning Warwick.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Trundle | Chomp saps your attack damage, slows, and resets his auto, giving him the level-1 edge. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is even as both champs are still farming with single abilities and neither commits. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays skill-based once your Q Jaws sustain answers his early bite trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain a coinflip of poke and positioning before either ultimate is online. |
| Level 6 | Trundle | Trundle's Subjugate at 6 steals your resistances and max health, tipping the all-in to him. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as your lifesteal starts closing the gap on his Chomp sustain. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | With two-plus items your lifesteal, Q healing, and R lockdown let Warwick out-scale the falling-off Trundle. |
Trundle owns the first levels: Chomp saps your attack damage, slows you, and resets his auto, so a level-1 brawl inside Frozen Domain — where his healing is amplified — goes his way. Farm with Jaws of the Beast, stay out of his 300-range bite, and don't int a trade just because Eternal Hunger is healing you.
