Briar vs Trundle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Briar's high clear speed and mobility to maintain tempo and look for fights around lanes with priority.
Manage frenzy commits carefully; only invade or contest when lanes can support or you have exit routes.
Focus on snowballing through protected skirmishes and objective control rather than raw objective speed.

Jungle Plan

Path toward volatile lanes where you can use (Q) and (R) to engage and lanes can follow for ganks.
Fight for river control and first Scuttle only when you have lane priority or counter-gank support.
Use tempo advantage from fast clears to invade weaker camps, but back off if Trundle's nearby or lanes lack priority.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights early where Trundle can use (E) pillar to trap or block escape.
Be cautious contesting objectives without lane priority, as forced smite fights favor Trundle's sustain and dueling.
Watch for Trundle's invade attempts post-level 3 when he can stat-check and punish overcommitment.

Early game

Start with a healthy full clear to keep tempo and avoid early skirmishes where Trundle's dueling is strong.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to back up or counter-gank.
Avoid early fights without lane priority or exit information to prevent getting trapped by Trundle's pillar and stat checks.

Power spikes

Level 6 is a major spike; use (R) to fear and dive safely into fights before Trundle can use his (R) stat drain.
Briar's sustained damage and mobility scale well; prioritize extended skirmishes where you can stay attached.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) and first dueling item timing; avoid extended fights inside his (W) zone when these are up.

Win conditions

Convert healthy tempo and protected skirmishes into dragon and Rift Herald control with lane priority.
Use (Q) and (R) to create sticky engages and clean up fights, denying Trundle's scaling through kills.
Counter-jungle safely when lanes can collapse, forcing Trundle into unfavorable fights or away from objectives.
