Statistical Matchup Analysis

Trundle dominates the meta (3rd most popular, 8.4% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Zac (3.0% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of jungle's current powerhouses. Meta strength confirmed: Trundle's superior tier rating (S+ vs C) translates into a solid 51.4% matchup win rate. This performance explains why Trundle ranks 1st in win rate among Jungle champions. Trundle shows excellent consistency, combining a strong 53.1% overall win rate with matchup success. Optimize for consistency: Press the Attack paired with Triumph (53.6% win rate, 93.1% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Trinity Force > Dead Man's Plate > Spirit Visage with Plated Steelcaps delivers 61.5% win rate against Zac.

Lane dominance: Trundle not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (5.52/min vs 5.04 for Zac). This 0.48 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Quality over quantity: Trundle wins through smart play rather than raw damage - despite lower DPS (546 vs 602/min), the 51.4% win rate shows superior utility, positioning, and team fight impact. Intriguing anomaly: Trundle wins the matchup (51.4%) despite a lower KDA (2.90 vs 3.20). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Zac as Trundle (Jungle)

While statistically Trundle is slightly stronger than Zac in the jungle, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

Except for rare builds, Trundle deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Meanwhile, Zac deals primarily magic damage (86.50%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Trundle is higher farming statistics (ranked 39th among role champions) (versus 54th for Zac), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.2 versus 2.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Trundle Jungle versus Zac Jungle matchup

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 Zac, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

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 Zac

  • Zac heals from the goo that separates from him. You can crush the goo pieces by stepping on them.
  • Kill all of Zac's bloblets when he splits apart to stop him from reforming.
  • Silences, stuns, roots and knockups will all interrupt Zac when he is charging Elastic Slingshot.
