Zac vs Trundle

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Zac must avoid early river fights and invades due to Trundle's strong dueling and invade resistance.
Focus on using Zac's long-range (E) engage to create ganks from unexpected angles after securing early camps.
This matchup revolves around Zac surviving early pressure to leverage superior teamfight scaling and objective control.

Jungle Plan

Path for full clears and avoid early direct confrontations unless lanes collapse first.
Use long-range (E) to gank lanes vulnerable to flank angles, especially when Trundle is occupied or visible elsewhere.
Delay contesting dragon or Rift Herald until Zac has levels and lanes have priority to safely leverage engage and frontline durability.

Danger windows

Zac is vulnerable to early invades before level 4 due to Trundle's dueling and invade resistance.
Isolated river fights are risky unless Zac has lane priority or numbers advantage.
Avoid forced smite fights early as Zac's clear speed and dueling are weaker than Trundle's.

Early game

Start with a full clear or a defensive path away from river to avoid early Trundle invades.
Only contest first Scuttle if nearby lanes have priority and can assist to avoid isolated fights.
Prioritize vision and pathing that enable ganks through fog and walls rather than predictable river routes.

Power spikes

Zac's level 6 unlocks (R) for strong teamfight disruption; use it to initiate objective fights safely.
Trundle's level 6 (R) makes him a dangerous duelist; avoid extended fights when it's available.
Zac's tank scaling and engage power spike after first major item allows frontline control and objective turns.

Win conditions

Survive early clears and invades to reach level 6 and item spikes for impactful engages.
Use (E) to create gank tempo on lanes with priority, then convert pressure into dragon or Rift Herald control.
Leverage Zac's tankiness and disruption to front objective fights and deny Trundle's splitpush impact through teamfight presence.
