Trundle vs Irelia

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Trundle's strength in extended melee duels to force Irelia into long trades inside (W).
Manage lane pressure to deny Irelia clean minion waves for (Q) resets and passive stacks, limiting her all-in threat.

Trading pattern

Engage trades inside (W) to maximize healing and attack speed benefits.
Use (E) to cut off Irelia's escape or chase paths, especially after she commits with (Q).
Save (R) for durable targets or when Irelia commits to extended fights to steal resistances and health.

Danger windows

Respect (E) stun and (R) slow zone for all-in windows where she can lock you down.
Be cautious when (W) is down as your chase and sustain drop significantly.
Avoid extended fights when Irelia has passive stacks and minion waves for (Q) resets, increasing her mobility and damage.

Early game

Start with medium aggression, using (Q) to weaken Irelia's damage before she stacks passive and resets (Q).
Avoid fighting outside (W) where Irelia's mobility and burst are stronger.
Punish Irelia if she uses (Q) forward without reset or misses (E) stun early.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Irelia or other durable targets to shift dueling power in your favor; avoid fighting her when her (R) is ready.
After first dueling item, increase side-lane pressure and force trades inside (W) to capitalize on your durability and sustain.
Respect Irelia's level 2 spike when she gains (Q) and (E), avoiding extended trades without cooldowns or wave advantage.

Win conditions

Deny Irelia clean minion waves to limit her (Q) resets and passive stacks, reducing her all-in threat.
Force extended trades inside (W) and use (E) to trap or disrupt her movement, then (R) to drain her durability.
Push side lanes after winning duels to pressure towers and create map advantages, leveraging Trundle's splitpush identity.
