Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win extended trades through Q sustain and Lux poke support, but struggle against Tristana's burst if she gets ahead.
- Post-6 you dominate if you can W onto Tristana before she can R you away, as your sustained damage output is superior.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to sustain through their poke, then W forward when Janna Q is down to force extended trades.
- Auto-Q-auto with Lux follow-up damage wins most exchanges if you avoid Tristana's E-W burst combo.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Let them push early to farm safely with Q sustain, then look for slow pushes when you have item advantages.
- Control minion waves to deny Tristana's ability to W aggressively without minion disadvantage.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never W forward when Tristana has both E and W available without Lux binding setup first.
- Getting E-W combo'd while diving will chunk you too hard even with your sustain.
