Who Wins

Pre-6 you lose the 2v2 — Lux E into Tristana W is a burst combo that outdamages your short-trade output, and you have no reliable way to dodge Lux's E without burning Q.
Post-6 with R active, you become extremely hard to kill in extended fights, and Seraphine's R combined with your R invisibility creates a kill pattern that Tristana cannot escape once committed.

Your best trading pattern is to absorb a short trade with Q dodge and Seraphine's E shield, then re-engage once Lux's E and Q are on cooldown — Lux's cooldowns are long enough that there is a clear window where you can walk up, stack W, and force Tristana to either fight at a disadvantage or burn W to escape.
Never fight into Lux's E; always Q sideways to avoid it before committing.

Play for a slow push and let the wave build in your favor so you can farm under tower safely while Seraphine pokes Tristana and Lux off the wave — Tristana wants to shove and reset, so denying her that by freezing or slow-pushing keeps her in an uncomfortable position.
Avoid extended fights pre-6 and prioritize surviving to your R powerspike.

Do not use Q to chase Tristana after she uses W to escape — you will overextend without Seraphine's peel and Lux can land a free E+Q on you while you are out of position.
Your Q should be used defensively to dodge Lux's E or to reposition during trades, not as a gap-closer into their combo range.
