Jax vs Trundle

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize scaling through safe farming and use (E) to block Trundle's auto attacks and win trades.
Manage lane pressure carefully to avoid giving Trundle extended fights inside his (W) zone where he thrives.
Focus on splitpushing and extended duels after hitting key item spikes to outscale Trundle.

Trading pattern

Bait Trundle's autos into (E) to stun and follow up with (Q) for favorable trades.
Avoid trading when (E) is down or when Trundle is inside his (W) zone to reduce his healing and attack speed advantage.
Punish (E) cooldown by chasing with (Q) and extending trades when his pillar is unavailable.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Trundle fights inside his (W) zone as his healing and attack speed spike.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is down, as you lose your main defensive tool and stun.
Watch for (E) placement to block escapes or create unfavorable terrain during fights.

Early game

Use (E) to absorb Trundle's damage and only engage trades when (E) is available to stun and punish.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 as Trundle's sustain and stat steal can overwhelm early trades.
Maintain medium lane pressure to farm safely without overcommitting to risky trades or (Q) jumps without (E).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to increase durability and damage; take extended trades only when (E) is ready or Trundle's cooldowns are down.
After your two-item spike, force side-lane pressure and extended duels where your scaling damage outmatches Trundle.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) power spike which steals resistances; avoid fighting him during his ultimate duration.

Win conditions

Survive early trades by using (E) effectively and reach your item spikes to dominate extended side-lane duels.
Force isolated 1v1 fights post two-item power spike to leverage your superior scaling and splitpush threat.
Use (Q) and (E) cooldown windows to punish Trundle's lack of mobility and control his positioning in fights.
