The Trundle versus Garen matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Trundle deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Garen deals mainly physical damage (75.23%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Trundle is higher farming statistics (ranked 2nd among role champions) (versus 14th for Garen), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (1.9 versus 1.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Trundle player to maintain constant pressure on Garen, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
