Olaf vs Trundle

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Olaf should use his high early agency and lane pressure to deny Trundle a calm scaling lane by forcing extended trades.
Prioritize landing and retrieving (Q) axes to maintain chase and pressure in this medium-scaling, snowball-oriented matchup.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (Q) slow and pick up axes to maintain pressure and prevent Trundle from kiting.
Use (R) to ignore (E) slow and any crowd control, committing only when you can keep hitting him.
Punish Trundle after he wastes (E) or when (W) is down, as his sustain and escape options drop significantly.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is active, as his healing and movement speed increase, making trades riskier.
Avoid fighting when Trundle has (E) available to block your escape or repositioning paths.
After using (R), be aware that you can be kited and lose chase potential until it is back up.

Early game

Start trades by landing (Q) and picking it up to keep Trundle from safely farming or using (W) effectively.
Use (W) shield and attack speed to sustain through Trundle's damage and extend fights when Trundle is inside his (W) zone.
Avoid missing (Q) to prevent losing chase potential and allow Trundle to use (E) to escape or reposition.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to gain crowd control immunity and force straight-line fights where you can chase and hit repeated (Q).
After your first fighter item, increase pressure in side-lane trades by extending fights and punishing Trundle's missed disengages.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) stat drain power spike by avoiding extended fights when he targets you with it.

Win conditions

Win by landing repeated (Q) slows and forcing extended duels where your (R) negates Trundle's crowd control.
Pressure the side lane to deny Trundle safe farming and prevent him from scaling into mid-game splitpush threat.
Use your early and mid-game power spikes to snowball lane dominance and transition into side-lane duels or teamfight dives.
