TLDR















Tank Trundle Runes





















Optional Summoner Spells
Ghost
Ghost for extra and mobility and chasing and disruptive running around in fights. Good alternative if you want to stay close to enemies.
Exhaust
Defensive option. Exhaust for peeling against enemy divers and assassins and protecting your carries.
Ignite
Offensive option if you are feeling spicy. Grievous Wounds + some damage. Good in early fights and you can score some kills, but reduces your going-in potential. Especially later.
Optional Runes
Presence of Mind
Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of Mind.
Demolish
If you are into taking objectives, you can consider taking Demolish rune. Usually it is worth it and lets you push turrets quicker. Utility slash team oriented option.
How it works
- You play as a Tank.
- Your job is to soak damage, disrupt fights, protect your team, and be a pain in the neck for the enemy.
Playstyle
Be the frontline. Soak damage, disrupt enemies, protect your carries.
Jak'Sho rewards you for staying in fights.
Adapt your items to counter the enemy team.
How to play
Getting started
- Start with Guardian's Horn. Rush #1 Armor item if enemy is heavy on AD, or MR item if heavy on AP. Get Jak'Sho as #2.
- Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
During fights
- Your goal is to be in the middle of fights as long as possible - Jak'Sho stacks up with combat seconds.
Adapting
- 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.
- You can use Bandlepipes to give your whole team an attack speed boost whenever you CC enemies. Great synergy with auto attackers.
Runes
- Triumph is better overall (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of Mind.
- Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
Items
- Be careful when playing Fimbulwinter, as your Pillar of Ice (E) triggers this item and you waste shield proc!
Tips and Tricks
Champion
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- Your Pillar of Ice (E) knocks back, so you can use it to interrupt some cooldowns or CC, even in melee range.
- 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.
- Weave your auto attacks with Chomp (Q) to maximize damage! Auto - Q - Auto. This works also against turrets.
- 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
- Trundle excels at fighting within his Frozen Domain. Try to draw enemies onto it.
- Use Subjugate to soften a powerful enemy tank or to create a target for your team to focus fire.
- Chomp is good for lowering the physical damage of enemies; try to focus it on enemy physical damage dealers.
Skill Order

Q
