Abilities

PASSIVE ABILITY

King's Tribute

✦ Whenever an enemy dies near Trundle, he heals for 2% − 7% (based on level) of their maximum health.
✦ This gives him sustain in lane whenever minions, champions, and summons die. This also gives him sustain in the jungle as he kills monsters.

Chomp

✦ Trundle's next basic attack becomes unstoppable, deals bonus physical damage and slows the target by 75% for 0.1 seconds.
✦ After biting his target, Trundle gains bonus attack damage for 5 seconds and reduces his target's attack damage by half that amount for the same duration.
✦Chomp resets Trundle's basic attack timer.

Frozen Domain

✦ Trundle coats the target area in ice for 8 seconds. While inside, he gains bonus attack speed, bonus movement speed, and 25% increased healing from all sources.
✦ Troll 2

Pillar of Ice

✦ Trundle projects a pillar of ice at the target location for 6 seconds, knocking back all units directly over it 225 units on cast, acting as impassable terrain for the duration and slowing enemies around it.
✦ bruuuuh

Subjugate

✦ Trundle starts draining the life force out of the target enemy champion, healing for a percentage of their current maximum health, dealing the same amount as magic damage, stealing 40% of their current armor and magic resistance, and increasing in size by 18% as well as reducing his target's size by 9.9%. Half of the total damage and stealing is applied instantly, and the other half, as well as the size modifiers, are applied over the next 4 seconds, even if the target has died.
✦ The armor and magic resistance will remain stolen for 4 seconds after the drain has ended.

Lesser Runes

PRECISION

Overheal

★ Overheal is useful if you're building lifesteal, otherwise its basically useless. Not sure if it works with Trundle's passive . Will test this soon.

Triumph

★ Triumph synergizes well with Trundle's passive as they both give you health when something dies.

Presence of Mind

★ Mana regen is not needed on Trundle. Both and are far superior choices.

Legend: Alacrity

★ Trundle makes great use out of attack speed as his most reliable source of damage are his auto attacks.

Legend: Tenacity

★ As a juggernaut who is able to deal and take insane amounts of damage, Trundle needs tenacity as the enemy team WILL cc him. 30% from Legend: Tenacity and Merc treads (even with diminishing returns) give you 52% tenacity aka you only get cc'ed for 48% of what you would normally.

Legend: Bloodline

★ Auto attacks and are his main source of damage, and lifesteal procs from both. This rune got nerfed but it is still an okay choice.

Coup de Grace

★ Good if you do or your team are able to do a lot of damage.

Cut Down

★ Trundle usually gets a lot of health in many of his meta builds so he will almost never be able to use this well.

Last Stand

★ Reliable rune on Trundle as he is a frontliner that heals midfight. I usually take this over .

DOMINATION

Cheap Shot

★ slows its target by 75% for 0.1 seconds, so he will able to proc the bonus true damage with every q. Allows works with his .

Taste of Blood

★ actually does "0 proc true damage" according to the wiki, so you might be able to activate with your e.

Sudden Impact

★Useless on Trundle as he has no reliable way to proc in his abilities.

Zombie Ward

★ Utility + stats, takes a while to stack as you need to kill enemy wards. Works for support or jungler role as they clear wards the most.

Ghost Poro

★Utility + stats, takes a while to stack as your wards need to expire NOT killed.

Eyeball Collection

★ Pure stats and no utility unlike the previous two, but can be stacked a lot faster.

Ravenous Hunter

★ Gives you omnivamp which Trundle can use well as his autoattacks,, and can activate this. If you're going domination secondary then this is one of the best options in the tree.

Ingenious Hunter

★ Cooldown on active items, only useful on Trundle when you're building or .

Relentless Hunter

★ Out of combat movement speed, useful when you're running to gank as Jungler or roaming as Top/Support

Ultimate Hunter

★ allows to crush/match up to his opponent, so the cooldown reduction helps a lot with that.

SORCERY

Nullifying Orb

★ extra survivability vs AP threats.

Manaflow Band

★ Trundle doesn't really need the extra mana or mana regen so its not that useful on him.

Nimbus Cloak

★ Movement speed is amazing on Trundle as it allows him to RUN FASTER to escape enemies or chase them down. Especially great in the Jungle as he can smite to gain movement speed.

Transcendence

★ Trundle doesn't really need cooldown reduction to do good. Only real use of this would be to reduce cooldown for and . Could be useful as it also reduces basic ability cdr by 20% of remaining cooldown for every takedown, so his can be used twice within 30 seconds.

Celerity

★ Again, movement speed on Trundle is good. Boosts movement speed with no condition, gets even better when he uses his or with .

Absolute Focus

★ Only gives you bonus stats when you're 70% or more hp but Trundle is a frontliner so this will never be good on him.

Scorch

★ Only works when you damage with your ability so only works with your or , not sure about .

Waterwalking

★ Extra movement speed while in river, so only useful in the Jungler or when you're roaming as Top/Support.

Gathering Storm

★ More stats the longer the game goes on. Get this if you think the game will last long. You outscale most tanks so this will let you do that but even more.

RESOLVE

Demolish

★ BIG damage on turrets based on your health, and Trundle usually builds health which will allow you DEMOLISH turrets.

Font of Life

★ Heals your teammates if the enemy is slowed/cc'ed by you. Viable as both and slow. Get this if you want to help your carries stay alive.

Shield Bash

★ Basically useless on Trundle as he doesn't have shields. Can't be reliably used so you will almost never use this.

Conditioning

★ Bonus armor and magic resistance after 12 mins, this is amazing on Trundle as he usually builds tank and his steals armor and magic resistance from enemies, which is then further boosted by .

Second Wind

★ Healing after getting damage. This is great into ranged/poke matchups and will allow you sustain in lane.

Bone Plating

★ Damage reductions for 3 attacks/abilities. Amazing since it will massively reduce any damage you take in short trades or against burst. Better than condition before 12 minutes.

Overgrowth

★ More health. Synergizes with , , and anything health related.

Revitalize

★ More healing/shielding, especially when you or your teammates are below 40% health. Can be great on support if you're using or . Trundle heals alot anyways so this basically boosts it by 5% or more.

Unflinching

★ Tenacity and slow resist that increases the lower you are. Great on Trundle as both stats can allow him to escape sticky situations, especially since he will tank and be low as a result.

Inspiration

Hextech Flashtraption

★ Flash but you can time it. Can be used to suprise the enemy or make plays. I think this is great if you're playing support or looking to make plays.
