Trundle vs Aurora

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

This is a medium-pressure top lane matchup where Trundle aims to force extended melee duels and deny Aurora safe farming windows.
Focus on using (W) to sustain and control trades, preventing Aurora from safely scaling into her burst potential.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades by using (Q) to steal attack damage and fight inside (W) to amplify healing and attack speed.
Place (E) to cut off Aurora's escape or slow her after she uses (W) invisibility for repositioning.
Punish Aurora after she uses (W) since she loses her quick escape and mobility temporarily.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Aurora has (W) available to dodge your (E) and reposition for burst trades.
Avoid fighting outside your (W) zone where Aurora's burst and mobility can overwhelm you.
Watch for Aurora's level 6 ultimate window, which increases her kill threat; hold key defensive cooldowns and avoid risky all-ins.

Early game

Use early levels to pressure Aurora by forcing trades inside your (W) zone to maximize sustain and damage.
Exploit Aurora's low range and dodgeable (E) by stepping forward aggressively before level 6.
Avoid extended fights outside (W) where Aurora's mobility and burst can punish you.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Aurora or her tankiest ally to drain health and resistances before committing to all-ins.
After your first dueling item, force side-lane trades inside (W) to pressure towers and punish isolated Aurora.
Respect Aurora's level 6 ultimate and first AP burst item by avoiding extended trades when these are available.

Win conditions

Win by forcing extended duels inside (W), using (Q) and (E) to control Aurora's movement and damage output.
Use (R) to neutralize Aurora's tanky allies and create favorable fights.
Pressure side lanes after first dueling item to deny Aurora safe farming and force her into disadvantageous fights.
