Trundle vs Master Yi

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Trundle's early game strength lets him contest river and invade Master Yi before Yi hits key item spikes.
Focus on denying Master Yi free farm by forcing fights around Scuttle and objectives where Trundle's dueling and sustain excel.
This matchup is a tempo and objective control battle, with Trundle aiming to shut down Yi's scaling and reset potential.

Jungle Plan

Prioritize early Scuttle fights and invade Master Yi's jungle when lanes have priority to deny his farm and tempo.
Use (E) pillar to trap Master Yi near objectives or narrow jungle paths to force fights on your terms.
Set vision around dragon and Rift Herald to leverage your strong objective control and force Master Yi into unfavorable skirmishes.

Danger windows

Beware of Master Yi after he hits level 6 with (R) active, especially if your crowd control is on cooldown.
Avoid isolated river fights or forced smite contests when Master Yi can engage resets on low-health targets.
Be cautious when your (W) is down, as your chase and sustain drop, making you vulnerable to Master Yi's resets.

Early game

Start with a clear path that leads to early river Scuttle control to contest Master Yi's weaker early pressure.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 unless lanes have priority to follow up on your pillar setups.
Use your invade resistance to counter-invade if Master Yi shows on opposite side or overextends early camps.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) significantly increases your dueling power by stealing health and resistances; target Master Yi or his frontline to dominate fights.
First completed dueling item amplifies your extended fight potential; force side-lane trades inside (W) to pressure towers.
Master Yi's level 6 (R) and first item spike increase his reset threat; respect this by avoiding fights without crowd control ready.

Win conditions

Convert early river and Scuttle control into dragon and Rift Herald objectives to deny Master Yi scaling resources.
Use your superior dueling and (R) stat drain on tanks or bruisers to win extended fights and pressure side lanes.
Maintain vision and track Master Yi's pathing to counter-gank and punish his farming windows before he reaches item spikes.
