Who Wins
- You win pre-6 trades if you can land E and force extended fights with ghouls, as Tristana lacks sustain and struggles with your minion army.
- Post-6 you dominate 1v1s completely since your R creates an unavoidable all-in scenario that Tristana cannot escape from even with W.
How to Trade
- Your optimal trading pattern is E into W wall to trap her, then Q auto with ghouls focusing her down.
- Never trade without ghouls up as her range advantage and Q attack speed make short trades heavily favor her.
Wave Control
- Push waves hard early to build graves, then look for slow pushes into dives once you have 3-4 ghouls ready.
- Control the wave near your tower post-6 to set up R engages where she cannot escape to safety.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never chase her without your wall available, as her W escape makes you waste crucial cooldowns for nothing.
- Avoid trading when you have no ghouls as her range and mobility make it impossible to stick to her.
