Who Wins

  • Pre-6: You lose most trades due to Tristana's superior burst and Alistar's engage threat, though level 1 you can contest with W poke before Tristana gets Q.
  • Post-6: You still lose all-ins as Tristana's R negates your R engage potential and their burst combo remains stronger.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use W to slow enemies then auto-attack while kiting backwards, letting Poppy follow up with Q or E if they overextend.
  • Focus on short trades with W-auto-Q reset rather than extended fights where Tristana's Q gives her the advantage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push early levels to hit 2 first and establish W poke pressure, then maintain a slight push to avoid being frozen on.
  • Keep the wave in the center or slightly pushed to give Poppy room to use her E wall stuns effectively.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use R aggressively for picks as Tristana can instantly R you away and turn the fight.
  • Avoid face-checking brushes or walking too far forward as Alistar's W-Q combo will instantly delete you.
