Guide to Countering Trundle as Zilean

Tips for Playing as Zilean against Trundle

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

Advice to Win 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.
