How to Beat Trundle as Jax (Top)

The Jax versus Trundle matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Jax deals mixed damage - the opponent has fewer options for defense. Trundle deals mainly physical damage (84.78%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Jax is higher farming statistics (ranked 17th among role champions) (versus 24th for Trundle), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.4 versus 1.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Jax Top versus Trundle Top matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Jax player to maintain constant pressure on Trundle, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Jax tips:

  • Jax can Leap Strike to friendly units, including wards. You can use them to plan your escape.
  • Jax benefits greatly from items that have both Ability Power and Attack Damage such as Guinsoo's Rageblade and Hextech Gunblade.

Playing Against Trundle

  • Trundle is very powerful at location-based combat. Try to draw him off of his Frozen Domain.
  • Make sure to get out of his Pillar of Ice as quickly as possible, as it significantly slows you down.
