Statistical Matchup Analysis

Trundle dominates the meta (3rd most popular, 8.4% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Nidalee (3.9% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of jungle's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Trundle's higher tier rating, Nidalee wins 51.5% of encounters. This suggests Nidalee's kit specifically counters Trundle's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Strong champion, tough matchup: Despite Trundle's impressive 53.1% overall win rate, this specific matchup against Nidalee presents unique challenges requiring focused practice. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Press the Attack + Triumph combination (54.2% win rate) plus optimal itemization Trinity Force, Dead Man's Plate, Spirit Visage, and Plated Steelcaps boosts your chances from 48.5% to 61.0% - potentially game-changing.

Farm your way back: Trundle's superior farming (5.52 vs 5.46/min, 39th among Jungle) offers a comeback path. Focus on safe CSing and capitalize on your 0.06 CS/min natural advantage. Outclassed across the board: Nidalee leads in both matchup win rate (51.5%) and damage (668 vs 546/min). Trundle must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Trundle maintains better KDA (2.90, 6th place vs 13th for Nidalee), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

Key aspects of the Trundle Jungle versus Nidalee Jungle matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Trundle player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Nidalee player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

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 Nidalee

  • Nidalee's Hunt debuff is only applied with Javelin Toss and Bushwhack. Avoiding being hit by these abilities will impair her ability to deal follow-up damage.
  • Nidalee's Javelin Toss deals more damage the farther she is. If she is far away, it's imperative to dodge it.
  • Nidalee's Takedown deals extreme damage to Hunted targets, but she has to get close to use it. Save your crowd control or defensive abilities for when she goes in for the kill.
