Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 trades due to Tristana's superior range and burst with E-auto-W combo that you cannot effectively answer.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R engage potential, but Tristana's W escape and R knockback make successful all-ins difficult to execute.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is E forward for Q3 knockup into W shield, then immediately E back to safety before Tristana can fully stack her E.
- Avoid extended trades where her E bomb damage and attack speed steroid from Q give her the advantage.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively with Q and E to deny Tristana farm and force her under tower where she struggles to last hit early.
- Maintain minion advantage when possible since her W escape becomes less safe when she has to jump through your minions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use E aggressively without Q3 ready, as Tristana can easily W away from your engage and leave you overextended.
- Avoid fighting in open areas post-6 where her R can knock you away from walls that would otherwise limit her escape options.
