Gragas vs Trundle

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane with short trades using (Q), (W), and (E) to prevent Trundle from forcing extended fights.
Manage wave to avoid giving Trundle long melee trades inside his (W) zone where he excels.
This is a control vs splitpush matchup; deny Trundle's scaling by punishing his lack of mobility and extended trade reliance.

Trading pattern

Take compact trades by slowing with (Q), empowering damage with (W), and stunning with (E) when Trundle commits.
Punish Trundle after he uses (E) pillar by engaging with (E) stun before he can reposition.
Avoid extended fights after your (E) or passive cooldowns expire to prevent losing to his sustained damage and healing.

Danger windows

Respect (W) zone where he gains healing and attack speed; avoid extended trades inside it.
Be cautious when your (E) is on cooldown or missed, as you lose both engage and escape options.
Watch for (R) usage on durable targets; avoid all-ins during its effect to prevent damage and stat drain.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to perform full short trade combos with (E) stun and (W) damage reduction.
Avoid using (E) into unfavorable wave states or when passive sustain is down to prevent losing trades.
Hold (E) to interrupt Trundle's approach or pillar placement and punish his committed engages.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to isolate Trundle or disengage his all-ins; respect that he will try to fight inside his (W) zone.
After first AP or tank item, leverage increased burst or durability to pressure Trundle and choose between kill pressure or front-line utility.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) which steals resistances; avoid fighting him during its duration and kite to reduce his value.

Win conditions

Win by controlling short trades around your passive sustain and cooldowns, denying Trundle extended fights.
Use (R) displacement to disrupt his engages or isolate him from his team during skirmishes and teamfights.
Prevent Trundle from scaling by punishing his low mobility and forcing resets before he can pressure side lanes or towers.
