Trundle vs Kayle

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Trundle's medium early agency and lane pressure to force extended melee trades that deny Kayle's safe scaling lane.
Focus on splitpushing and anti-tank stat steal to pressure Kayle before she reaches her ranged thresholds and late-game power.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q) to steal attack damage and weaken Kayle's damage output during extended fights.
Use (W) to boost sustain and movement, forcing Kayle into long trades she wants to avoid.
Place (E) to trap Kayle or cut off her retreat when she attempts to disengage or kite.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Kayle has (R) ready, as she can negate lethal burst or extended trades.
Avoid extended fights outside of (W) where Kayle can kite and heal with (W).
Watch for Kayle's slow (Q) combined with her (R) invulnerability to disrupt your engage timing.

Early game

Exploit Kayle's low early agency by engaging in trades inside (W) to maximize healing and attack speed.
Use (E) to block Kayle's escape or slow her when she tries to farm safely near her tower.
Avoid fighting outside (W) where Kayle can kite and heal effectively with (W).

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Kayle or any tanky frontliner to drain health and resistances, turning duels heavily in your favor.
After completing your first dueling item, increase pressure on Kayle by forcing side-lane trades inside (W) and threatening tower plates.
Respect Kayle's level 6 power spike when she gains ranged attacks and (R) invulnerability; avoid committing without (R) available.

Win conditions

Deny Kayle a passive scaling lane by forcing extended trades inside (W) and using (E) to trap or zone her.
Use (R) strategically on Kayle or other durable targets to drain resistances and secure duels.
Push side lanes to pressure towers and force Kayle into unfavorable fights before she reaches her late-game DPS thresholds.
