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 Nasus

  • While transformed by his ultimate, Nasus is stronger than most champions in the League. Engage him only if you have a clear advantage.
  • Max rank Wither is a very effective counter to Attack Damage characters, so try to avoid getting caught alone by it.
  • Nasus is prone to being kited. Try not to engage him at full Health.
