Warwick vs Trundle

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Warwick's early dueling and sustain let him contest river and punish Trundle's extended trades before Trundle can fully leverage his (R).
Prioritize using (W) to track Trundle's low-health camps and force fights on your terms.
This matchup is a snowball contest where Warwick must leverage early pressure to deny Trundle free farm and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path toward lanes with priority to set up early ganks and force Trundle into unfavorable extended fights.
Contest first Scuttle aggressively when lanes can assist, using Warwick's sustain and fear to outduel Trundle.
Focus on counter-jungling camps near river after securing Scuttle to deny Trundle scaling and objective control.

Danger windows

Beware of Trundle's early river fights when he has lane priority and (E) pillar to block escape paths.
Avoid fighting when (E) is down, as burst damage from Trundle becomes more threatening.
Be cautious during forced Smite fights on dragon or Herald where Trundle's stat-steal (R) can turn duels against Warwick.

Early game

Start with a three-camp clear that leads to early Scuttle crab contest to leverage Warwick's sustain and dueling.
Avoid direct invades unless nearby lanes have priority to counter-gank Trundle's first river move.
Use early river control to secure Scuttle vision and deny Trundle safe pathing for his first full clear.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks Warwick's full kit, enabling strong extended dueling with (Q) healing and (E) fear to punish Trundle's less mobile early clear.
Level 6 (R) allows Warwick to suppress and pick off low-health targets, forcing Trundle to respect engages and avoid isolated fights.
First dueling or tank item completion boosts Warwick's sustain and damage, solidifying his ability to contest objectives and extended trades.

Win conditions

Convert early dueling wins and Scuttle control into dragon and Rift Herald setups with lane priority.
Use (W) to track Trundle's movements and force picks with (R) suppression in isolated skirmishes.
Deny Trundle's scaling by invading his jungle post-Scuttle and forcing him into unfavorable fights before his item spikes.
