Statistical Matchup Analysis

Balanced meta clash: Vi (3.6%, 21st place out of 60 Jungle champions) regularly faces Trundle (2.8%, 28th place). Both champions hold solid meta positions, making this matchup knowledge a direct path to climbing and improving your win rate. Optimize for consistency: Conqueror paired with Triumph (67.1% win rate, 1.8% popularity) provides the stats you need, while the item sequence Trinity Force > Sundered Sky > Black Cleaver with Plated Steelcaps delivers 63.0% win rate against Trundle.

Lane dominance: Vi not only wins the matchup but crushes CS (5.53/min vs 5.35 for Trundle). This 0.18 CS/min advantage generates significant gold leads that compound your already favorable position. Complete superiority: Vi dominates both win rate (51.4%) and damage output (574 vs 542/min, 2nd among Jungle). The 32 damage/min difference creates massive snowball potential. Intriguing anomaly: Vi wins the matchup (51.4%) despite a lower KDA (2.40 vs 2.80). This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Trundle as Vi (Jungle)

While statistically Vi is slightly stronger than Trundle 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, Vi deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Trundle deals mainly physical damage (80.64%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

An important advantage of Vi is higher farming statistics (ranked 48th among role champions) (versus 52nd for Trundle), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Vi Jungle versus Trundle Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Vi player to maintain constant pressure on Trundle, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Vi tips:

  • A fully charged Vault Breaker will deal double damage. It's great for catching and finishing off fleeing enemies.
  • Relentless Force does full damage to anyone caught in the shockwave. Use it on minions in lane to hit enemies hiding behind them.
  • Cease and Desist is a powerful initiation tool, just remember not to get too far ahead of the rest of your team.

Playing Against Trundle

  • Trundle is very powerful at location-based combat. Try to draw him off of his Frozen Domain.
  • Make sure to get out of his Pillar of Ice as quickly as possible, as it significantly slows you down.
