Matchup Summary

Detailed Tips

  1. 01

    Respect Trundle's Q trades - Most people make the mistake of overtrading with Trundle Level 1, who simply outdamages and kills Renekton players based on the additional AD and low CD Trundle Q has. Instead, you can simply AA Q him, then walk back towards your tower. Each time Trundle gets Q, do not walk into him and over extend the fight. As long as you're patient Trundle cannot really force his Level 1 Advantage.

  2. 02

    Play For Level 2/3 Kill Angle - Once you reach level 2, you can skill W level 2 to assert lane dominance. Having Empowered W level 2 will completely shred Trundle's HP if he tries to bully you off the wave. If Trundle is fairly healthy, try to walk back after doing AA > W > AA > Q. If he's low you can look to kill him off this and force the remaining auto attacks for the kill.

  3. 03

    Respect Trundle W - Trundle's W is another big tool for Trundle's fights. Once Trundle activates W, he will be trying to utilise every second of it. Try to only go for short burst trades, never trade Auto for Auto in his W, otherwise Trundle will smash you down.

  4. 04

    Hold E for Trundle Pillar - A big aspect of this match up that makes it completely unfair for Trundle, is the fact Renekton can completely avoid any aggression from Trundle level 3 onwards. Each trade you do vs Trundle needs to be quick and heavy, once you do your trade E1 towards your side of the map, then if Trundle Pillars, simply E2 through it. Doing this ensures Trundle can never lock down Renekton and punish back after a trade, always resulting in Trundle not being able to do anything.

  5. 05

    Quick Trades - AA > W > AA > Q > AA > E Out > E2 Pillar / E > Q > AA > W > AA > E - These combos allow for Renekton to get quick damage off in being able to keep health up and whittling his opponent down, use these to get your laner low and look for a low HP kill with flash.

  6. 06

    3 Points Q > W Max - Make sure to abuse W max in this match up, as it allows Renekton to stand toe to toe vs Trundle at all stages within the game. Renekton W can be abused disgustingly bad vs Trundle as you can always disengage fights after W, followed by using it again another 7-4 seconds later. Definitely Max W to completely ruin Trundle.

  7. 07

    Respect Trundle R - Trundle R is a massive dueling boost for Trundle in 1v1 fights. Depending on how much you have already snowballed, you can afford to tank Trundle R. However if Trundle is semi strong or even, try to instantly disengage with your dashes after he ults, so he can't utilise the additional DPS and stats he steals in a fight.

  8. 08

    Build Plated Steelcaps, Eclipse or BoTRK. - Go Plated Steelcaps to lower Trundle's overall damage and utilise the movement speed. / Go Eclipse for consistent power through mid game and damage mitigation with the shield. / Go BoTRK to one shot and snowball with a damage focused build.

  9. 09

    Mid Game + Teamfighting Tips - Trundle's objective within the mid game is to abuse his crazy tower pushing speed in side lanes, focusing on outdueling his opponents and punishing his enemies every time they leave. As Renekton this can be very awkward if you're fed, overall the objective is to make sure you clear the side lane out each time you look to make a play on the map. However if you don't have Tp, you can communicate your mid laner to side lane vs Trundle as long as they don't fight him. Doing this allows you to use your lead on the map more effectively to help you snowball the map. In other scenarios, you should try to get your team to jump on Trundle to make sure you can take him off the map, then look towards playing objectives or teamfights in the time he is dead. If Trundle joins a regular fight he is relatively useless and easy to peel against with your W max CD and overall armour shred utility. Make sure to protect your teammates and try to obliterate him first if he runs into your team.
