How to win lane as Ziggs against Trundle · 50% win rate over 4 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | No ranged ability means Trundle eats your L1 Q poke for free. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At level 2 he still can't reach you, so your Short-Fuse pokes tick him down. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Your L3 minefield and Q bounces zone his melee CS attempts. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 you out-trade with range while he has only Pillar of Ice to close. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | His level-6 R is single-target melee-range and can't touch you at artillery distance. |
| First item | Ziggs | With your first item you decisively out-range and out-DPS his Chomp trades. |
| Two+ items | Ziggs | In the 2-item state you shove and siege faster than his split-push can punish. |
Trundle has no ranged tool, so from level 1-2 you freely poke with Short Fuse-empowered Q while he can only walk up and eat it; deny his melee last-hits and you snowball the lane fast.
