Statistical Matchup Analysis

With 1.8% popularity, Trundle constantly encounters meta-dominant Malphite (5.3%, 8th place out of 63 Top champions). Understanding how to play against this popular champion becomes essential for consistent Trundle performance in the current patch. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Grasp of the Undying + Demolish combination (60.4% win rate) plus optimal itemization Ravenous Hydra, Blade of The Ruined King, Black Cleaver, and Mercury's Treads boosts your chances from 45.1% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Trundle's superior farming (7.59 vs 6.31/min, 2nd among Top) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 1.28 CS/min natural advantage. Damage doesn't equal wins: Trundle outputs more damage (686 vs 667/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Malphite: leads in both matchup win rate (54.9%) and KDA (2.50 vs 1.30, 2nd vs 61st place). Trundle players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Malphite as Trundle (Top)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

Except for rare builds, Trundle deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Malphite deals primarily magic damage (72.19%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Trundle is higher farming statistics (ranked 2nd among role champions) (versus 35th for Malphite), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.5 versus 1.3) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Trundle Top versus Malphite Top matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Trundle player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Malphite player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

    Trundle tips:

    • Trundle excels at fighting within his Frozen Domain. Try to draw enemies onto it.
    • Use Subjugate to soften a powerful enemy tank or to create a target for your team to focus fire.
    • Chomp is good for lowering the physical damage of enemies; try to focus it on enemy physical damage dealers.

    Playing Against Malphite

    • If you're a physical damage character stay behind your allies when fighting Malphite. Ground Slam can significantly reduce your damage output.
    • Malphite is one of a couple tanks who are capable of jungling. Watch out if he gets Smite.
