Trundle vs Kindred

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Trundle's strength lies in early dueling and objective control to contest Kindred's marks and river presence.
Manage extended fights using (W) and (R) to outlast Kindred's kiting and ranged damage.
Prioritize disrupting Kindred's mark scaling by invading and contesting camps when lanes have priority.

Jungle Plan

Full clear with intent to contest Scuttle only when lane priority supports safe river control.
Invade Kindred's jungle camps after tracking their path and when (E) can trap or slow escapes.
Use vision control around dragon and Rift Herald to force Kindred into disadvantageous fights or deny marks.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 when Kindred's mobility (Q) and execute (E) can punish low-health clears.
Beware forced smite fights near marks or dragon when Kindred's (R) can reset fights and out-sustain.
Respect Kindred's ability to kite and disengage; avoid overextending without pillar or (R) available to trap or outlast her.

Early game

Start pathing toward first river Scuttle to contest marks if nearby lanes can move first.
Use (E) to block Kindred's escape routes during early invades or counter-invades.
Avoid forced fights if Kindred has lane priority or better positioning around marks early on.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) greatly boosts dueling by stealing health and resistances; use it on Kindred or a tanky target to win extended fights.
First completed dueling item enhances side-lane pressure and tower sieges; force fights inside (W) to maximize healing and attack speed.
Kindred's scaling with marks and ranged DPS requires denying early marks and forcing fights before she reaches her late game.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling wins and Scuttle control into dragon and Rift Herald objectives to deny Kindred scaling marks.
Use (E) and (R) to trap and drain Kindred or her frontline, forcing her out of fights and reducing her DPS uptime.
Leverage side-lane pressure with first dueling item to force Kindred into unfavorable cross-map responses and open objective windows.
