How to play

General
  1. You rush Heartsteel #1 unless it is going to be hard to proc it - they are all ranged and just poke you. Then you start slow with Guardian's Horn.
  2. After Heartsteel, you can rush Titanic Hydra (more fun, damage and some survi) AND/OR Sundered Sky or just go full tank - depending on if you are behind and if your team needs more damage.
  3. Sundered Sky is very good damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so Grasp, Heartsteel, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!
  4. This is auto attack oriented Trundle build, so do it! Especially if running with Titanic Hydra and Sundered Sky as well.
  5. Guardian's Horn is a surprisingly good item for its price. You can keep it for a very long time (or even have it as 6th item).
  6. Triumph is better (heal + gold), but if you want to have easier time with your mana, go Presence of the Mind.
  7. You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
  8. Remember to consume your Heartsteel procs!
  9. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You can stop an enemy team from pushing your turrets with your Pillar of Ice (E). Everyone died, and the enemy tries to push? Just put Pillar of Ice on minions' path.
  2. Your Subjugate (R) shreds Armor and Magic Resist by 40%. It is often recommended to use that on enemy tank. This way, you are getting more tanky and can go into fights. Or Subjugate (R) enemy tank to burst him down quickly when he comes at your team. Or even some bruiser tries to go all in? Well, Subjugate him.
  3. Your Pillar of Ice (E) knocks enemies back from its center. This implies some cool interactions like with Samira's Passive or with Yasuo's Ultimate!
  4. Your Pillar of Ice (E) knocks back, so you can use it to interrupt some cooldowns or CC, even in melee range.
  5. Your Pillar of Ice (E) can interrupt casting if you cast it on top of enemy champion. If there's Fiddlesticks on an enemy team, you can try interrupting his ult.
  6. Weave auto attacks to maximize damage! Auto - Q - Auto. This works also against turrets.
  7. Your Frozen Domain (W) increases healing taken. Use it when taking Health Relic, when there are bigger minions that die (your Passive heals off minion maximum health!), when using R or when there are enemy champions about to drop!
Riot
  1. Trundle excels at fighting within his Frozen Domain. Try to draw enemies onto it.
  2. Use Subjugate to soften a powerful enemy tank or to create a target for your team to focus fire.
  3. Chomp is good for lowering the physical damage of enemies; try to focus it on enemy physical damage dealers.
