Trundle

Trundle is a top-lane fighter-tank whose entire game plan is stealing what the enemy has and grinding them down in extended duels. Chomp bites the target for damage while sapping a portion of their Attack Damage, meaning every trade against him is lopsided — he hits harder while his opponent hits softer. Few bruisers are as miserable to fight in a side lane.

Frozen Domain defines where he wants to fight. By converting an area into his territory, he gains Attack Speed, Move Speed, and amplified healing from all sources, which combines with King’s Tribute — healing whenever an enemy unit dies nearby — to make him remarkably durable in the middle of a minion wave. Pillar of Ice adds a unique tool: a wall of impassable terrain that slows enemies, usable to block escape paths, split enemy teams, cut off ganks, or interrupt dashes.

Subjugate is the anti-tank ultimate in the game: it immediately steals a percentage of the target’s Health, Armor, and Magic Resistance, doubling over four seconds. Cast on the enemy frontliner, it turns their tank stats into his, letting a half-item Trundle brawl through champions far ahead of him.

Who plays him

Trundle rewards players who enjoy split pushing, one-on-one attrition fights, and clever terrain play over flashy mechanics. His weakness is range — at 175 attack range he must reach his target, so kiting compositions can deny him — but once he closes the gap on his frozen ground, very little survives the exchange.
