Who Wins
- You lose level 2 all-ins due to Tristana's E burst and Nautilus hook engage being stronger than your W root setup.
- At level 6, you still lose because Tristana's R knockback can interrupt Alistar's combo while her E-R burst outdamages your R execute potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Your optimal trading is Q bounce harass when enemies are near minions, then follow with W root if Alistar lands Q knockup for guaranteed fourth shot proc.
- Avoid extended trades since Tristana's Q attack speed and E damage over time will outdamage your reload windows.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You want to slow push early waves to build minion advantage for Alistar engages, but avoid hard shoving since Tristana outranges you significantly.
- Focus on freezing near your tower after level 6 to force Tristana into your R range while staying safe from Nautilus hooks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use W root as engage tool without Alistar setup since good Tristanas will W jump away immediately.
- Don't greed for fourth shot procs in extended trades since Tristana's sustained DPS with Q active will kill you during your reload animation.
