With Kayle and Trundle both dealing mixed damage, stacking a single stat answers most of it. Starting health splits 670 to 650 in Kayle’s favour, with armour at 26 against 37. Early physical trades read in Trundle’s favour thanks to 11 more armour. At full build levels the gap widens to 2520 HP versus 2234, favouring Trundle. Trundle also hits harder before items — 68 AD to 50. Trundle covers ground faster from level one (335 against 350).

Pillar of Ice (E) is the ability Kayle has to respect, just as Trundle plays around Radiant Blast. Then it becomes Divine Judgment against Subjugate, and the one still holding it sets the terms.

This is a melee mirror in terms of reach — 175 versus 175 — so spacing matters less than ability timing.
