Trundle Power Spikes (Patch 26.20)

Mid

When Trundle Mid gets stronger, in the order it happens in a typical ranked game: ability unlocks from the most common skill order, item spikes at the median minute players finish them, and the game length Trundle wins most.

  1. Lv 3
    All three basic abilities at level 3
    Trundle's full combo is online — the first point where trading all-in is realistic.
  2. Lv 6
    Ultimate rank 1 at level 6
    The biggest early spike: look for a kill or a roam as soon as Trundle hits it.
  3. Lv 11
    Ultimate rank 2 at level 11
    Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Trundle can start or win.
  4. Lv 16
    Ultimate rank 3 at level 16
    Lower ultimate cooldown means more fights Trundle can start or win.

Item timings are medians: half of players finish later. Fall behind in farm and every item spike moves back with it.
