Who Wins

  • Pre-6: Tristana + Blitzcrank wins due to Tristana's superior early damage and Blitzcrank's hook threat forcing defensive positioning.
  • Post-6: The matchup becomes more even as your R provides escape/repositioning tools, but they still have kill pressure advantage.

Synergy & Trading

  • Focus on Q poke when Blitzcrank abilities are down, using Janna's E shield to trade favorably.
  • Always position behind minions and use your range advantage to harass Tristana when she goes for CS.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to minimize Blitzcrank hook angles.
  • Avoid hard shoving unless you have vision and can guarantee safety from ganks.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never walk up without minions between you and Blitzcrank, even with Janna's disengage tools.
  • Getting hooked early game often results in death due to Tristana's burst potential.
