How to Beat Trundle as Zac (Jungle)

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

The magic damage that Zac deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Trundle deals mainly physical damage (80.80%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Trundle, ranking 42nd (versus 58th for Zac) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.8 versus 3.3) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Zac Jungle versus Trundle Jungle matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Zac 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.

Zac tips:

  • Picking up goo chunks is very important to staying alive.
  • When Cell Division is ready, try to die in a position that makes it difficult for the enemy team to kill your bloblets.
  • Charging Elastic Slingshot from the fog of war will give opponents less time to react.

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.
