Volibear vs Trundle

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Use Volibear's faster clear and high early pressure to contest river and force fights when lanes have priority.
Prioritize early dives and objective control with (Q) and (R) before Trundle reaches his dueling peak.
Deny Trundle free farm by forcing early tempo leads to avoid his strong stat-check dueling midgame.

Jungle Plan

Path towards lanes with dive potential and coordinate with laners to force early river fights when you have lane priority.
Contest first Scuttle aggressively only if lanes can follow and you have vision to avoid Trundle's pillar traps.
Use faster clear to pressure dragon and Void Grubs early, then counter-jungle or force Trundle into unfavorable fights before his scaling.

Danger windows

Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where (E) pillar can trap you and his dueling is strongest.
Respect forced smite fights when low health or lacking lane priority, as Trundle's sustain and stat steal can turn fights.
Be cautious when Trundle has (R) available on you or your tankiest ally, as he can drain resistances and swing duels heavily.

Early game

Start with a full clear to hit level 3 quickly and prepare to contest first Scuttle when lanes can move first.
Avoid direct early invades without lane priority and vision to support counter-ganks.
Use early river control and Scuttle fights to set up dragon or Rift Herald before Trundle's dueling strength peaks.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for tower disables and durable engages; use health leads and wave crashes to threaten dives or force recalls.
First bruiser or tank item boosts durability, enabling extended (W) trades; pressure skirmishes while tracking Trundle's disengage.
Level 3 completes your ability pattern, allowing full brawls with (Q), (W), and (E); look for controlled trades to land second (W).

Win conditions

Convert early jungle tempo and health leads into dragon and Rift Herald control to snowball lanes.
Use (Q) stun and (R) tower disables to execute level 6 dives, forcing enemy recalls or objective setups.
Deny Trundle free farm by counter-jungling and forcing fights before his stat-steal scaling becomes overwhelming.
