Who Wins
- You lose early trades pre-6 due to Tristana's range advantage and ability to kite your Q animations with W jump.
- Post-6 you can win all-ins if you land W chains to prevent her escape, as your R sustain and damage amplification outscales her burst in extended fights.
How to Trade
- Look for short trades with Q1 sweet spot when she steps up for CS, then immediately E away to avoid her retaliation.
- Never commit to extended trades without landing W first, as she will simply W away and poke you down with autos and E.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to deny her CS and force her under tower where she's more vulnerable to ganks.
- After level 6, maintain wave in center or slightly pushed to have space for all-ins with R while preventing her from using tower safety.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E aggressively without W setup, as you'll have no gap closer left when she W jumps away.
- Never chase her through minion waves early game as she'll kite you with superior range and mobility while you take minion damage.
