How it works

  1. As Trundle playing a Support, your main goal is to soak up damage while protecting your carries.
  2. You act as a primary frontline, soaking up damage and zoning the enemy team away from your backline.
  3. Adapt your playstyle depending on your team's needs: either engage and start fights, or sit back and peel for your carries.
  4. Make sure to counter enemy team. Itemize defensively based on the main damage type of the enemy team.

Playstyle

  1. 🎭

    Identify your role: engage, peel, or frontline.

  2. 🛡️

    Soak damage and protect your carries.

  3. 🧰

    Adapt items to counter the enemy team.

How to play

Support 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.
  1. Identify your role within the team (engage, peel, frontline)

Adaptation

  1. If your team needs engage, go Trailblazer and Shurelya's Battlesong.
  2. Your team getting poked to death? Consider getting Redemption AND/OR Locket of the Iron Solari next.
  3. If your team needs peel, go Knight's Vow and Locket of the Iron Solari.
  4. Knight's Vow is a surprisingly good item. Buy it and use it if you have carry or bruiser/fighter who is doing well.
  5. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Buffing your team

  1. Bandlepipes is a great utility item for engaging and buffing your auto attackers when you CC enemies.

Runes

  1. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

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.
