How to play

Imperial Mandate Trundle

  1. As Trundle, you have really great engaging and catching people off tool in your Pillar of Ice (E). Do not wait for 'special moment' to use it.
  2. Pillar of Ice (E) can be also used as great peeling ability. However be careful, as this might trap your ally if not used wisely.
  3. Your Q applies Imperial Mandate (and all benefits mentioned above) as well!
  4. Your Pillar of Ice (E) works with Serpent's Fang.
  1. You rush Imperial Mandate as your only mandatory item.
  2. Your CC triggers Glacial Augment that slows AOE. All Slows trigger Font of Life AND Imperial Mandate, healing and buffing your allies.

How Imperial Mandate works

  1. Imperial Mandate requires your TEAM to proc it for damage. Try coordinating it with your allies - mark targets when they're about to get poked or when your team goes in.

Buffing your team

  1. Font of Life heal triggers various support items like Ardent Censer, Staff of Flowing Water or even Moonstone Renewer!
  2. If your team needs sustain, you can even get Diadem of Songs.
  3. If your team has auto attackers, get Ardent Censer. Your Font of Life will buff them constantly.
  4. Bandlepipes is excellent - gives MS and buffs allies' attack speed when you CC/slow enemies.
  5. Staff of Flowing Water is good item if you have lots of AP scaling champions on the team.

Adaptation

  1. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR items like Kaenic Rookern or Spirit Visage.
  2. Enemy team heavy on AD? Buy Armor items like Thornmail or Randuin's Omen.
  3. Your team lacks damage? You can buy damage items - Liandry's Torment or Blackfire Torch work well.

Items

  1. Be careful when playing Fimbulwinter, as your Pillar of Ice (E) triggers this item and you waste shield proc!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. You can stop an enemy team from pushing your turrets with your Pillar of Ice (E). Everyone died, and the enemy tries to push? Just put E on minions' path.
  2. Your Subjugate (R) shreds Armor and Magic Resist by 40%. It is often recommended to use that on enemy tank. This way, you are getting more tanky and can go into fights. Or R enemy tank to burst him down quickly when he comes at your team. Or even some bruiser tries to go all in? Well, Subjugate him.
  3. Your Pillar of Ice (E) knocks enemies back from its center. This implies some cool interactions like with Samira's Passive or with Yasuo's Ultimate!
  4. Your Pillar of Ice (E) knocks back, so you can use it to interrupt some cooldowns or CC, even in melee range.
  5. Your Pillar of Ice (E) can interrupt casting if you cast it on top of enemy champion. If there's Fiddlesticks on an enemy team, you can try interrupting his ult.
  6. Weave your auto attacks with Chomp (Q) to maximize damage! Auto - Q - Auto. This works also against turrets.
  7. Your Frozen Domain (W) increases healing taken. Use it when taking Health Relic, when there are bigger minions that die (your Passive heals off minion maximum health!), when using R or when there are enemy champions about to drop!

Riot

  1. Trundle excels at fighting within his Frozen Domain. Try to draw enemies onto it.
  2. Use Subjugate to soften a powerful enemy tank or to create a target for your team to focus fire.
  3. Chomp is good for lowering the physical damage of enemies; try to focus it on enemy physical damage dealers.
