Nasus vs Trundle

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Focus on full clears and controlled jungle pathing to safely stack (Q) without early fights where Trundle's dueling is strongest.
Prioritize scaling through steady camp clears and use vision to avoid Trundle's early river contests and pillar traps.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize efficient clears to reach level 6 and item breakpoints before challenging Trundle.
Track Trundle's pathing with vision and counter-gank when he commits to river or lane pressure.
Focus on objective control around dragon and Rift Herald when lanes have priority, avoiding direct fights until (R) and stacks are ready.

Danger windows

Early jungle fights before level 6 and meaningful (Q) stacks are risky due to Trundle's strong dueling.
Avoid isolated river skirmishes where Trundle can trap with (E) and slow with (W), especially without lane priority.
Be cautious during forced smite fights on dragon or Herald if low health or without (R) active, as Trundle's sustain and damage steal can overwhelm.

Early game

Start with a full clear to maximize (Q) stacks before contesting river or Scuttle.
Avoid early invades unless a nearby lane has priority to support counter-invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if lanes can move first and provide vision to prevent Trundle's strong dueling setups.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) boosts durability and extended fight potential; use it to survive Trundle's dueling attempts.
High (Q) stacks turn Nasus into a major side-lane threat; pressure isolated lanes to force Trundle responses.
First defensive or sheen-style item enhances damage and survivability, enabling safer objective fights and duels.

Win conditions

Convert superior scaling by stacking (Q) into side-lane pressure that forces Trundle to respond and creates map advantages.
Use (W) slow and (R) durability in extended fights to punish Trundle when he overcommits or fights outside his (W) zone.
Leverage vision and lane priority to safely contest dragon and Rift Herald, denying Trundle early objective control and snowball potential.
