Who Wins
- Pre-6, you win this lane clearly due to your 650 range advantage over Tristana's 525 — you can auto-attack Tristana freely while she struggles to retaliate, and Thresh's hook threat forces Milio to play defensively.
- Post-6, you maintain the advantage because your R provides a long-range execute and Thresh's R into your trap is a reliable kill setup that Milio's R must be baited out before executing.
Synergy & Trading
- Your best pattern is to place traps at the wave's edge to zone Tristana off CS, then poke her with autos and Q whenever she steps up to farm.
- When Thresh hooks Tristana or Milio, immediately follow with a Q headshot proc to maximize burst before Milio can heal or shield.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You want to slow-push the wave into a large minion wave and then freeze it near your tower, because this forces Tristana to overextend into Thresh hook range to farm and denies her the ability to safely stack E on you.
- A frozen wave also removes Tristana's option to shove and reset, keeping her in a permanently uncomfortable position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not waste your E net aggressively to chase Tristana — it is your only escape tool against her R knockback, and using it offensively leaves you with no answer when she jumps onto you with a full E stack.
