Rengar vs Trundle

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Rengar's high early invade resistance and brush control to contest river brush before Scuttle and objectives.
Prioritize early invades when nearby lanes have priority to trap Trundle in his jungle and deny camps.

Jungle Plan

Path through brush-heavy routes to maximize surprise and invade Trundle's jungle when his position is tracked and lanes have priority.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes can move first and deny Trundle early vision and objective control.
Convert early picks from (R) stealth hunts into dragon or Rift Herald setups and use tempo advantage to steal camps or force resets.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before securing lane priority and vision control around Scuttle and dragon.
Be cautious after using mobility or Smite in early clears to prevent being caught by Trundle's strong dueling and pillar setup.
Respect Trundle's pillar (E) placement that can trap or block escape paths, especially near objectives or narrow jungle exits.

Early game

Start a three-camp clear that leads into river brush to contest or secure first Scuttle only if adjacent lanes can collapse first.
Avoid fighting Trundle in open river without lane priority due to his strong dueling and pillar control.
Track Trundle's position to counter-invade or counter-gank when he commits to side-lane or river fights.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks Rengar's ultimate stealth pick potential; use it to isolate and kill Trundle or his laners before objective fights.
First completed dueling item boosts Rengar's kill threat and duel potential, enabling more aggressive invades and counter-jungling.
Respect Trundle's level 6 (R) spike that drains resistances; avoid extended duels when his ultimate is up and focus on picks instead.

Win conditions

Use brush control and ultimate picks to deny Trundle camps and force him into reactive farming.
Translate early jungle tempo leads into repeated dragon and Rift Herald setups with lane priority.
Exploit Trundle's low mobility by invading when his (E) and (R) are down, then snowball through counter-jungling and objective pressure.
