Jayce vs Trundle

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Jayce's ranged poke and lane pressure to deny Trundle a calm and extended melee fight.
Prioritize early snowball by leveraging high lane pressure and poke to prevent Trundle from scaling and splitpushing effectively.

Trading pattern

Poke first with ranged (Q)+(E) to create health leads, then use hammer form for short burst trades.
Punish (E) cooldown by stepping forward for trades when pillar is unavailable.
Avoid extended melee fights inside (W) zone where he gains sustain and attack speed.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is up, as he gains sustain and combat stats for extended trades.
Avoid engaging immediately after using hammer form (Q) as Jayce has limited escape.
Watch for (E) pillar to block escape paths or force unfavorable positioning.

Early game

Start with ranged form poke to pressure Trundle and force him to farm under tower.
Use (Q) through (E) combos to land empowered poke before Trundle can engage.
Avoid committing to hammer form trades unless (E) is down or after successful poke damage.

Power spikes

Jayce's first damage item spike greatly increases poke threat; use it to pressure waves and force Trundle to respect ranged poke.
Mid-game poke siege with empowered (Q) through (E) controls lane approaches; set up vision and poke before committing.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) spike which steals resistances; avoid extended trades when (R) is active on you.

Win conditions

Use ranged poke to deny Trundle farm and force him into unfavorable trades early.
Convert health leads from poke into lane control by crashing waves and taking plates.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Trundle from reaching side-lane splitpush strength and force teamfights on your terms.
