Who Wins
- Pre-6, you lose most extended trades because Tristana's attack speed steroid from W and her E stacking damage outpace your Q healing and pool cooldown; post-6, your R amplification combined with Q and pool creates a kill window if you can land your combo on a Tristana who has used her W offensively or her E is not stacked.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is to absorb a short poke trade, let E stacks fall off, then re-engage with Q into W to dodge her follow-up burst and heal back; never trade into a fully E-stacked Tristana as the explosion damage will chunk you through your W.
Wave Control
- Push the wave consistently with Q to maintain lane pressure and force Tristana to either farm under tower — where her E resets are less dangerous — or trade on your terms near the wave; a shoved wave also reduces her ability to all-in you freely since she risks missing CS.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Do not use W reactively to dodge a single auto attack — save it for when Tristana commits her W jump toward you or when her E is about to explode, as wasting pool on a poke trade leaves you exposed to her actual all-in window.
