Tristana
While many other yordles channel their energy into discovery, invention, or just plain mischief-making, Tristana was always inspired by the adventures of great warriors. She had heard much about Runeterra, its factions, and its wars, and believed her...

Xin Zhao Early Game
Tristana bot lane is scale-and-farm. Start Doran's Blade + 3 pots. Last-hit CS — don't push wave unless engaging.
Level 2 spike with W or E unlocked. Trade only when support engages first. Stay 550+ behind your support against hook threats. Ward tri-brush by 0:30.
Mid Game
Kraken Slayer + Berserker's Greaves is your spike. Tristana starts shredding objectives — dragon priority. Stay 600+ behind frontline in skirmishes.
Infinity Edge 2nd item = crit damage explosion. Push wave to deny enemy roam, then rotate to dragon/grub fights.
Late Game
Backline DPS. Stand 700+ behind frontline. AA-spam priority targets — your DPS scales infinitely on crit items.
Rapid Firecannon 3rd item = 700 AA range. Bloodthirster 4-5th item = sustain + shield. Guardian Angel last item = revive after dive.
Win Condition
Farm to 3 items → DPS teamfights → close 5v5. Tristana carries by sustained damage; you don't pick or burst.
Win: 8 CS/min + 3-item completion by 20min + 50%+ KP. Lose to: assassins (Zed, Talon) — need GA + Bloodthirster shield earlier.
Power Spikes
Level 2 — W or E unlocked for trade window. Level 6 — R for kill confirmation. Kraken Slayer (1st item) — wave clear + true damage on AAs. Berserker's Greaves — AS for AA-heavy kit. Level 11 — R rank 2 + 3 items = backline DPS threat. Infinity Edge (2nd item) — crit damage explosion.
Tips & Combos
Combos:
- AA -> Q (ability) -> AA -> W reset = full DPS rotation
- Kite back when low HP — Lethal Tempo stacks reset on idle
- R on lowest-HP target for execute or pickoff
Anti-tips:
- Don't engage solo — ADCs die in 1v1 vs tanks
- Don't AA in melee — kite at max range
- Don't waste R on missed positioning — wait for clean shot
Pro tricks:
- Lethal Tempo stacks during sustained DPS — stay in fight
- Stand on top side of teamfight to face less divers
- AA-cancel animations to maximize DPS (no idle frames)
