So ive been playing a ton of trundle lately. And doing really well. Ive been relying alot on the slow from phage and the eventual trinity slow. But ive been considering changing my build to frozen mallet. What are the pros and cons for each item on trundle?

Frozen Mallet gives you more health and that's about it. Trinity Force gives more damage, some attack speed, and then of course the amazing Sheen proc that gives your Rabid Bite great damage. I would recommend sticking with Trinity Force because Contaminate gives you enough movement and attack speed to keep your enemy pinned with the Phage slow. And don't forget the the giant ***** of death. Trinity Force is a much better option imo.

frozen mallet.

pros: a lot of health (great if you're building atmas), and the slow proc every attack
cons: you don't get any of the other parts of trinity force, especially the sheen

trinity force.
pros: that q damage with trinity proc, all the other stats
cons: only 35% chance to slow on hit, will have to rely on red if you want reliable slows


i'd still say trinity force, and if its a problem take red, since its better on you than the ranged ad carry.

Trinity Force is better IMO. Your pillar and contaminate should allow you to close in and have enough hit to get the phage slow done before your opponent could leave safely. Also, the sheen proc is awesome on Trundle.

Pillar of Filth + Contaminate & You're the jungler, so you should have Red Buff.

If you need Frozen Mallet, you're probably doing it wrong.
Although a Fratma's build is a perfectly viable choice if you like to give away Red buff often.


@Phoenix0000ff:

Zeal, Sheen, and Phage all have their merits. Movement speed, burst damage, an RNG slow.
Farming 4k is not as bad as you make it sound. You're being effective WHILE farming that 4k, so effectiveness does not go down.

@JunSupport

Does he even need the movement speed from zeal though? he seems like he's fast enough. He gets on targets pretty easy with pillar.

To be honest I never played him I just don't like trinity force : S
The rng of phage is a factor also. I figured with mallet he can hit 2 people in a team fight and it would be a semi disable.
With trinity I guess you can beat face that much harder /shrug

buy a Phage and upgrade it to Trinity Force or Frozen Mallet based on whether your team really needs some tankiness or more damage.

Overall I'd say Trinity Force is the better item for him, but FM is ok as well.

Thanks to Hoppermh for the signature!
