With 2.6% popularity, Nunu & Willump constantly encounters meta-dominant Trundle (8.4%, 3rd place out of 54 Jungle champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Nunu & Willump performance in the current patch.

This 0.61 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Complete superiority: Nunu & Willump dominates both win rate (52.4%) and damage output (604 vs 546/min, 2nd among Jungle). The 58 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential.

How to Beat Trundle as Nunu & Willump (Jungle)

The Nunu & Willump versus Trundle matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Nunu & Willump deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Trundle deals mainly physical damage (79.63%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Nunu & Willump is higher farming statistics (ranked 22nd among role champions) (versus 39th for Trundle), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.9 versus 2.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Nunu & Willump Jungle versus Trundle Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Nunu & Willump 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.

Nunu & Willump tips:

  • Consume allows Nunu to stay in a lane against ranged opponents.
  • You can choose to interrupt Absolute Zero early for partial damage if an opponent is about to run out of range.
  • It's often beneficial to delay the casting of Absolute Zero until the initial round of disables are used. Try to hang back before rushing into a team fight.

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.
