Shaco vs Trundle

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Shaco's early game mobility and invisibility to create unexpected pressure and disrupt Trundle's steady pathing.
Prioritize early jungle tempo and trap control to offset Trundle's strong dueling and objective presence.
Focus on snowballing through early ganks and counter-jungling before Trundle's stat-steal powers up.

Jungle Plan

Use deceptive early paths and box setups to secure counter-jungle camps and force Trundle into reactive plays.
Fight for river control and Scuttle only when your lanes can follow and create numbers advantage.
Prioritize dragon and Rift Herald vision control with traps before starting objectives to disrupt Trundle's approach and pillar placement.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights when Trundle has vision and pillar ready to trap or block escapes.
Be cautious during forced smite fights around dragon or Herald where Trundle's sustain and stat steal can outlast you.
Respect Trundle's early invade attempts when your lanes lack priority or your boxes are not set up for defense.

Early game

Start with a clear route that allows placing boxes near river entrances to secure early vision and control around dragon.
Contest first Scuttle Crab only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Trundle's strong dueling and pillar setup.
Avoid direct invades early unless Trundle is tracked on opposite side; use level 2-3 gank or invade cheese to break his tempo.

Power spikes

Level 2-3 power spike enables early gank or invade cheese; use this to punish Trundle's slower clear and limited mobility.
Trundle's level 6 (R) drastically increases his dueling potential; avoid extended fights when his ultimate is available.
Shaco's high clear speed and trap control create tempo advantages before Trundle completes first dueling item.

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and camp steals into dragon and Rift Herald control using traps to zone and disrupt enemy entry.
Use (Q) invisibility and (W) boxes to create unpredictable gank angles and snowball lanes before grouped fights reduce your impact.
Deny Trundle scaling by forcing fights before he can leverage his stat steal and sustain, focusing on objective vision and counter-jungling.
