Except for rare builds, Trundle deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Shen has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Trundle is higher farming statistics (ranked 22nd among role champions) (versus 50th for Shen), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 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 Shen, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
