Trundle vs Pantheon

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Trundle's durability and sustain to force extended melee fights against Pantheon early and mid game.
Manage lane pressure to avoid giving Pantheon easy empowered trades and punish his short burst windows.
This is a scale-versus-snowball matchup where Trundle must survive early aggression to reach mid-game splitpush strength.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades inside (W) to maximize healing and attack speed during extended duels.
Use (Q) to steal Pantheon’s attack damage and weaken his burst in trades.
Place (E) to cut off Pantheon’s escape or to disrupt his engage, especially after he uses (W).

Danger windows

Respect Pantheon’s (W) stun and empowered (Q) burst early levels to avoid lethal trades.
Be cautious when (E) is up on Pantheon as it blocks your main damage return.
Beware of Pantheon’s level 6 roam potential; hard push wave and take plates when he leaves lane.

Early game

Avoid engaging Pantheon when his (W) stun and empowered (Q) are available to reduce burst damage risk.
Use (W) zone to heal and trade back only after Pantheon commits his (W) or expends empowered abilities.
Focus on farming safely and punishing Pantheon’s cooldowns rather than forcing early fights.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) on Pantheon or any tanky ally he relies on to drain resistances and health before committing.
After Trundle’s first dueling item, force side-lane trades inside (W) to pressure Pantheon and punish isolated fights.
Respect Pantheon’s level 2-3 empowered trade window; avoid extended fights until his cooldowns are down.

Win conditions

Survive Pantheon’s early burst by dodging (W) and trading inside (W) zone to outlast him.
Use (R) to drain Pantheon’s resistances in extended fights and win duels.
Apply side-lane pressure after first dueling item to force Pantheon to respond, leveraging Trundle’s splitpush and tower damage.
