How to Beat Zed as Trundle (Jungle)

The Trundle versus Zed matchup in the jungle is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

Except for rare builds, Trundle deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Zed deals mainly physical damage (86.10%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Zed, ranking 5th (versus 39th for Trundle) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.6 versus 2.9) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Trundle Jungle versus Zed 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 Zed, 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 Zed

  • Zed receives bonus effect from Attack Damage items he purchases, so Armor is super effective against him.
  • After Zed uses his Living Shadow, he is at his most vulnerable as his damage, slow, and mobility are both dependent upon it.
  • Zed's Shadow Slash can only slow you if his shadow hits you with it.
