Trundle vs Heimerdinger

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

This is a control mage vs juggernaut matchup where Trundle must break Heimerdinger's turret zones and force extended fights inside (W).
Trundle should pressure Heimerdinger to avoid giving him a passive lane to set turrets and control wave state.

Trading pattern

Trade inside (W) to maximize healing and attack speed while using (Q) to reduce Heimerdinger's damage.
Use (E) to cut off Heimerdinger's escape or block turret zones, forcing him into unfavorable fights.
Punish Heimerdinger when (E) is down or turrets are cleared to force trades or tower pressure.

Danger windows

Heimerdinger is most dangerous when multiple turrets are active and (E) stun is available; avoid walking into turret zones without (W).
Be cautious when Heimerdinger upgrades (R) for burst or control, as his kill pressure spikes.
Trundle is vulnerable outside (W) and when (E) is on cooldown, so avoid extended fights during these times.

Early game

Use early levels to push Heimerdinger off minions before he sets turrets to limit his zone control.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 when (R) upgrade can amplify his burst and control.
Look to force Heimerdinger to farm under turret early, denying him comfortable setup space.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Heimerdinger to drain his resistances and health, making extended duels favorable.
After first dueling item, force side-lane trades inside (W) to pressure towers and punish Heimerdinger's low mobility.
Respect Heimerdinger's level 6 (R) upgrade which increases his burst and zone control; avoid fighting near turrets when it is ready.

Win conditions

Win by forcing extended duels inside (W), using (E) to trap Heimerdinger or disrupt turret zones.
Clear turrets quickly to remove Heimerdinger's zone control and open opportunities for all-ins.
Use (R) on Heimerdinger to reduce his durability and pressure side lanes for tower damage and map control.
