Who Wins

Pre-6, you win extended trades if you can land your Q bounces onto Tristana while she's near minions, but Nautilus's level 2 all-in with his hook is a serious threat that can flip the lane before you establish pressure.
Post-6, your R is a game-winning tool if Rakan lands his CC, but Tristana's E can knock you out of your R channel and Nautilus's R can interrupt it as well, so you rarely get a clean ult.

Your best pattern is to poke with Q bounces off minions onto Tristana from max range, then commit to a full trade only when Nautilus's hook is on cooldown and Rakan has already engaged with his W.
Never auto-attack into Nautilus without Rakan's CC landing first, as his passive shield and root will punish short trades heavily.

Push the wave consistently to deny Tristana free cannon farm and to force Nautilus to stay close to the wave rather than looking for hooks.
A shoved wave also gives you a safer position since Nautilus's hook range is limited and you can stand further back while the wave is near their tower.

Do not stand in a position where Nautilus can hook you and simultaneously put you in Tristana's E range, as that combination will burst you before Rakan can peel.
Avoid channeling your R without confirmed CC from Rakan, because a single Tristana E will cancel it and waste your kill window entirely.
