The most effective build path for Trundle Top currently features Ravenous Hydra, Blade of The Ruined King, and Trinity Force, which boasts a high 56.3% win rate. Alternatively, a more common core of Ravenous Hydra, Trinity Force, and Hullbreaker is used in many games with a 52.3% win rate. For boots, Plated Steelcaps are the standard choice with a 45.5% pick rate.

You should run the Precision tree as your primary, focusing on Lethal Tempo, Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand. For your secondary tree, select Resolve with Bone Plating and Demolish for better survivability and tower pressure. This specific rune setup has a 48.6% win rate across 45.9% of games analyzed.

Trundle Top is currently ranked as a B tier champion in the Platinum+ meta. This ranking reflects his relatively low pick rate of 1.6% and a modest carry score of 3.7/10. He is considered a niche pick rather than a top-tier meta staple.

Trundle currently holds a win rate of 47.4% for the Top lane role in Platinum+ games. His build-specific win rate remains the same at 47.4% based on 945 total games analyzed. While certain item combinations perform better, his overall average is below the 50% threshold.

While the data is focused on Platinum+ ranks where he has a 47.4% win rate, Trundle can be effective due to his simple difficulty rating of 5/10. His reliance on split-pushing with items like Hullbreaker and the Demolish rune can punish uncoordinated teams. However, his low carry score of 3.7/10 suggests he may struggle to take over games single-handedly.

Maining Trundle Top is currently a challenge as he sits in the B tier with a sub-50% win rate. With a low pick rate of 1.6% and a carry score of 3.7/10, he is mostly situational. He may be worth it if you enjoy a split-pushing playstyle, but there are objectively stronger fighters in the current patch.

Trundle's win rate is currently on the lower side at 47.4% because he lacks significant impact in team fights, reflected by his 3.7/10 carry score. Although he did not receive any nerfs in Patch 16.2.1, his niche as a duelist and split-pusher is not currently dominating the meta. He relies heavily on reaching his core three-item spikes to be truly effective.

Ravenous Hydra is the best first item for Trundle, holding a 49.5% win rate and a high 41.7% pick rate. It is essential because it provides him with much-needed waveclear and sustain during the laning phase. Completing this item first allows him to transition into his split-pushing role more effectively.

Trundle is best picked when your team needs a dedicated split-pusher who can take down towers quickly using Demolish. He functions as a Fighter/Tank hybrid, making him useful against compositions where he can safely duel. Given his 0.7% ban rate, he is almost always available as a counter-pick or comfort selection.

Trundle's primary power spike occurs when he completes Ravenous Hydra and reaches the point where his Q is fully maxed, which contributes to a 53.9% win rate. During this time, you should utilize Flash and Ignite to win duels and pressure side lanes. Use his Lethal Tempo stacks to win extended trades against other melee champions.

Trundle tends to be strongest in the mid-game once he completes his core items like Trinity Force and Hullbreaker. His skill max order of Q > W > E ensures he has maximum dueling power during the transition out of the laning phase. However, his overall win rate suggests he must capitalize on these timings before being outscaled or out-teamfought.

Trundle did not receive any direct buffs or nerfs in Patch 16.2.1. Additionally, there were no changes to his core items like Ravenous Hydra or Trinity Force. His performance in this patch is a direct continuation of his standing from previous iterations.

The most successful setup is Lethal Tempo with Resolve secondary, including Bone Plating for burst protection. While Bone Plating is great against combo champions, the data suggests this general-purpose page is the standard for most matchups. You should generally stick to the Precision/Resolve combination to maintain his 48.6% win rate potential.
