Who Wins

Pre-6, your W sustain and level 2 bubble give Tristana a safe lane, but Lucian's short-trade pattern and Milio's healing mean you are not winning extended fights — you are winning by denying Lucian clean all-ins and keeping Tristana healthy enough to poke.
Post-6, your R is a strong engage tool, but Milio's R directly counters it by cleansing the knockup on both Lucian and himself, so you need to land your R when Milio's R is on cooldown or he is out of position.

Your best pattern is to bubble Lucian when he dashes in to proc his passive — his dash direction is often predictable, making your Q easier to land — then immediately use your E on Tristana to let her win the extended trade with bonus attack speed.
Use your W reactively to sustain Tristana through Milio's empowered autos rather than proactively, so you always have it available when the real trade happens.

You should not roam aggressively — Milio's E and W give Lucian enough self-sufficiency to survive short absences, but a shoved wave with Tristana low means you have no roam window anyway.
If you do roam, it must be after a successful all-in that burns Lucian's flash and with the wave fully crashed under their tower, and you should prioritize mid because your R into mid-lane engage is high-value.

Do not use your bubble on Milio as your primary target — he is harder to hit, less likely to be in a killable position, and bubbling him wastes your CC on the less threatening target while Lucian continues to dash and proc his passive freely.
Also avoid over-committing your W to poke trades early, as running out of mana against Milio's sustained healing means Tristana loses the war of attrition even with her range advantage.
