Trundle Build Guide by OnlyUseMeHess

Introduction

Hello this is my first Trundle and my first guide all together. Enjoy!Trundle is a very under rated champion in all play. His abilities may not CC, but he has a great slows,melee damage that does decent amount of damage, with contaminate increases in movement and attack speed plus crowd control reduction, and a great slowing pillar which can be used two ways, helping teammates survive or kill them (sifnasty). Trundle is a hard champion to kill if you have no chase abilities or something to slow him down. Good for fun and a great champion. He is also a sustained jungle. Plus he rarely gets banned, has good jokes and is tanky.

Runes

good for tanky champs with armor pen, armor and magic res, You will get health and and more attack items in game so its not necessary to get those runes.You might ask yourself why doesn't he have tankier runes that is because i feel as if trundle isn't as useful as a full tank and a team member would be better to be a full tank. Armor pen is essential on trundle so you do more damage if you don't trundle wont do nearly as much. Also you could put more damage in your rune page since it scales with trundle's Q(bite)

Runes
Greater Mark of Armor Penetration 3	Greater Mark of Attack Damage 6	Greater Seal of Armor 9	Greater Glyph of Magic Resist 9	Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage 3

Masteries

make sure to have Runic Affinity for your buffs since trundle needs blue buff, no need for tanky masteries because you get tanky items in this build anyway and in early game you want that extra damage.Your going to want to put 21 points into offence and 9 in utility

Masteries
3/4	2/2	4/4	4/3	1/1	3/3	3/1	1/4	3/3	1/1	4/1	1/1
