Who Wins

  • You win level 2 with Q-passive-ignite combo since your lockdown duration plus Tristana's E burst exceeds Jhin-Alistar's damage output.
  • Level 6 strongly favors you because R knockup into Tristana E-R combo provides more reliable kill pressure than enemy ultimates.

Synergy & Trading

  • Your best trading involves Q hook onto Jhin when he's isolated from minions, followed by passive auto and E slow for Tristana to land full E stacks.
  • Use W shield during trades to absorb Jhin's fourth shot damage while Tristana chunks him with Q attack speed.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • You should roam less than Alistar since Tristana needs protection from Jhin's long-range poke and W root setups.
  • Only roam when Tristana has significant wave advantage and vision control, typically after successful backs around levels 4-6.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never Q hook through minions since Jhin can W root you during your approach animation for easy punishment.
  • Don't use R on Alistar unless he's already committed with flash since good Alistars will save their engage until your ultimate is down.
