Trundle vs Mordekaiser

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Trundle's strength in extended melee duels to pressure Mordekaiser and deny him a passive lane.
Focus on forcing fights inside (W) to maximize healing and damage steal against Mordekaiser's tankiness.

Trading pattern

Engage trades inside (W) to amplify healing and attack speed while using (Q) to steal Mordekaiser's attack damage.
Use (E) to block Mordekaiser's movement or trap him after he commits his (E) pull.
Punish Mordekaiser when his (W) shield is down or after he misses (E), as his extended trade damage drops.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Mordekaiser lands (E) pull followed by isolated (Q), as he can force extended trades with passive damage.
Avoid fighting during (R) realm duration when you are isolated and vulnerable.
Watch for Mordekaiser's stored shield from (W) which can turn damage into healing, making him hard to burst down.

Early game

Use early wave pressure to force Mordekaiser into short trades where his (E) pull is less threatening.
Avoid fighting outside (W) where Mordekaiser can kite and sustain better.
Watch for opportunities to place (E) pillar to cut off Mordekaiser's escape or interrupt his pull setup.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Mordekaiser to drain his health and resistances before committing to fights.
After completing your first dueling item, force side-lane trades inside (W) to pressure towers and punish Mordekaiser.
Respect Mordekaiser's level 6 (R) which isolates you; save your mobility and defensive cooldowns to survive the realm.

Win conditions

Win extended duels by fighting inside (W), stealing stats with (Q) and (R), and using (E) to trap Mordekaiser or block his escape.
Deny Mordekaiser scaling by forcing long trades and punishing his cooldowns, especially after missed (E).
Leverage side-lane pressure and splitpush to take towers after winning duels, capitalizing on Trundle's anti-tank and stat-steal strengths.
