Tips Against Tristana in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
DoublefeedOP says “Tristana scales just like you, except she has that all-in element with her W. Make sure that when you go against her that you're conscious about her level 3 all-in kill pressure that she gets. Usually she'll be laning with an all-in support so punish her if she fails her all-ins but for the most part give up the early game. At 6, Lulu can ult you so that mid W, you can all-in Tristana.”
Harambe Homie says “Tristana has a lot of kill potential and hard engage potential. Try your best to not let her get onto you for free. Play safe early and outscale, you will do way more damage then her late.”
DoublefeedOP says “Tristana is only a threat if she can get on top of you, so keep your Arcane Shift unless she's poked out. The main threat comes once she builds Galeforce and runs you down even with your Arcane Shift so try to get an early lead by poking her out.”
Chaeha says “Tristana is another one of those very volatile lanes where she will look for the level 2, 3, and 6 all ins, but if you go exhaust and respect the all ins, it shouldn't be too bad.”
Vapora Dark says “One of the few champions that can get on you from pretty far away, mid-late game she has impressive auto/ability range and her jump is one of the longest a carry has. Her main power is extended trades/duels. When she throws her E on something, stay away from it, if she throws it onto you make sure to back off as it deals a lot of damage once stacked. Poke her down and abuse the fact she always pushes hard. Late game setup proper traps and angles for teamfights and she won't be a major factor to you.”
LostFishEU says “Tristana can deal huge amount of damage in a short period of time. If she jumps on you with her Explosive Charge and manage to get 4 autos and ult off you will die. You can however use Condemn just as Tristana uses her jump to cancel it.”
Harambe Homie says “Tristana has really hard engage and when paired with a support that has equal engage this can spell trouble for Miss Fortune. Luckily in the current meta Trist is really bad, so she isn't picked often at all. Generally as it is right now you don't have to worry about this pick. On the off chance it is picked try your best to play back and not get engaged on!”
FunkyBeagle says “Tristana can be a really tough lane for any champion, not just Kai'Sa. This season, her all in ability with Hail of Blades just got even better. Take exhaust here and watch for level 2 all ins.”
DoublefeedOP says “Her scaling is the threat, early game even if you hop on her she can just W out so first blood is difficult and can bait you into a bad situation. Be careful with this lane and try to bait out her E before going in.”
Santoryo says “High damage, personally I don't like playing vs her, but I don't think she is worth of banning her, because she is not that popular champion.”
Moodkaps says “Try to win before tristana reaches full build or pain against tristana i build crit. Once Tristana reaches full build FF Its going to be really hard fighting a full build Tristana. Since Tristana still a ADC you can just Essence Flux into Arcane Shift, and then mystic shot run awa. Sometimes you might kill her. Most of the tim you will die. Also Don't get into a auto battle not a good idea.”
LegendaryOstrich says “Same range as you early game. Be cautions of her E hitting you while she's farming and dash out of her way when she is channeling jump. Once she gets 3 items she out damages you if she cancels your ult with hers. Trade her by baiting out her E and walking away because once she uses it you can easily out damage her with PTA and your Q W combos.”
Melyn says “Her mobility and burst is a problem sometimes. Exhaust is great here for punishing her aggression. Otherwise, try to save your plants until after she jumps (unless you're simply poking) as it will often be on you!”
R3Veal says “Quite high mobility lets her dash onto you really quickly and slow you down. It makes you really squishy target especially when she's fed.”
snowcard says “I don't get these sites saying that Sivir's a good counterpick to Trist (maybe I'm just bad?). Since this build is about keeping your distance, Trist has a huge gapcloser to burst you. You can only block one of her abilities, and even if you block her fully stacked E, Trist still gets her W reset off. If she uses all her spells at once she'll just burst you.
What you can block: W damage, E, Ult.”
Ekezun says “Don't stand close to your low health minions, play with a knockup or grab support to stop her from jumping away, try to push the minions under her turret so she loses farm”
SkittleBtw says “Super strong early game with HoB or even PTA, level 3 she just puts a bomb in your brain, belly flops onto your head and starts throwing metal balls into your face until you die. Really try to avoid that happening, it's not great.”
Ledeni123 says “This is actual real threat, she got higher push, higher burst, so you gotta use q to push or have help from support, you will use a lot of mana but you are still superior in AA trades”
cakiens says “most of trists early game damage comes from her e but she cant trigger it if you have her blinded so be sure to save your q to counter her e.
play safe until you have you mythic. once you have mythic you can start to play a lot more aggressive.
”
MunixEclipse says “Tristana is able to jump on you and can bully you out of lane with her bomb. You need to root her before she can jump on you can kill her.”
Kalista Monster says “She can easily jump on kalista at level 2 and just kill her. She is a similar problem as draven but slightly easier to deal with since she doesn't do as much damage”
MasterBoom says “You can't 1 on 1 her with full hp.
Try first to reduce hp to 3/4 or 1/2 before doing a face to face battle with her. You may use "Galeforce" to move away if you are slowed by her, This will proc "Galeforce" damage then an "E"+"R" combo for possible kill. Your "E"+"Serylda's Grudge's" slow will make Tristana hopeless in that trade.”
The dankest mom says “The only adc you should lose too. Douche just jumps on you and sticks her purple muff in your mouth. With a competent support you can win but goddamn it doesn't help she got buffed into a psychotic-freak-of-nature state.”
Katarevolution says “Sie hat durch ihren Kit einen Burst zur verfügung und hat auch einen jump reset nach einem Kill oder sobald Sie die bombe zum explodieren bringt.”
jhoijhoi says “Tristana is a hyper carry with a poor power curve. She has some decent harass early game with her abilities, but as these fall off as the game progresses, she needs to get to late game to reach her full potential. With her passive Draw a Bead, her end game range is among the highest in the game, and her team fight mobility via Rocket Jump is enormous, which resets on kills or assists. Unless she is coupled with an aggressive support, she will be content to farm all game until she can deal incredible amounts of damage from afar later on in the game. She tends to push the lane with Explosive Shot, which will leave her open to ganks. Her ultimate, Buster Shot can be used offensively (to push enemies closer to her team) or defensively (to push an enemy into their team).”
Archibold2 says “Tristana consists of using her E (Bomb placement on head) and in alling. You want to avoid fighting her knowing this ability is up. This is especially true if Tristana has exhaust, it's becoming a more common rune especially with assassins where they are at the point. So I would advise against fighting Tristana if at all unless you know she lacks her main damage sources.”
Glasletter says “Ult can pop you out of your own and her jump provides greater short-term mobility. The trick to this one is to bait her into jumping before really going all in.”
GodMulti says “You can easily trade with her until lvl 6. After LvL 6 she will outscale you.... Keep in mind that she can interrupt your Ult with her own Ult and that she can just jump out of it.”
GariKun says “Care to her all-in. Try to not pick random trades in early couse she will murder you. In late, attack her before she can even notice you and kill her.”
SINKEMALL says “She outdamages you for a good portion of laning phase and her all-in is very strong. Unless you have a cc bot to lock her down, she is very diffcult to beat until you outscale. ”
nraxxr says “Trist is a large threat to Jhin, who has a very hard time dealing with burst champs. Try and keep her at a safe distance and let her push the wave towards you during laning. ”
Bouhhsolene says “She will try to all in you, if she does, W her and disengage. She has a lot of range late, sho care for that. In lane, if you hit W, take trades, you should win.”
Cam1304 says “Care for her burst damage with her Q and E, and heavy engage with her W. She should beat you in laning phase but if you aren't too far behind you should be able to beat her late game.”
SweatMeALake says “Tristana has less range early game so you must punish that before she ramps up. She will have more range than you at level 18. Tristana often engages with W. This is good for you since her movement is fixed in this animation so it is an easy ultimate for you to land onto her. She has an attack speed steroid and has raw damage than you.”
SweatMeALake says “Tristana is rather strong, but lacks early game. Depending on your support you should win this lane, but she will outrange you later on in the game, as she scales really well, so try to keep her behind all game. ”
Ayanleh says “Tristana in my opinion is the hardest match up for kalista and is my perma ban. She can slow with her W and do huge damage to you since she has a pretty good early game.”
Spection says “UNCOMMON. Generally a pretty powerful ADC, but she crumbles against Pantheon. Squishy beyond reason when caught, but doesn't stay in your range for long when she does get caught, so pick a CC heavy support! Tristana has very powerful escape but almost no CC to speak of. Poking her down works best. Auto attacks will stack explosive charge even if they are blocked. Your shield will not block explosive charge.”
ShroudedBRH says “Because of her passive her waveclear will be better then yours and she will try to pressure you under tower. Avoid her all ins and consider taking exhaust to reduce her burst”
Camelorry says “If you are good enough to not get hit by her w and block her e with your w then you are good. But have in mind that she scales better into late game than you do and she can cancel your ult with hers. ”
EvoNinja7 says “She is very good for taking advantage of your squishiness, her E is very deadly, and so i recommend keeping your distance from her. If you want to poke her out, I recommend Calibrum and Infernum, since Calibrum has the range, and with infernum, you can hit a minion in front of her, and the flames will hit whatever is behind as well.”
StriveHD79 says “She will be looking for an all-in chance, a way to jump in and blow you up at any chance given. If her jumps land onto you, it will slow you down so keep your distance at all times. You will lose 1v1 every stage of the game unless you are ahead”
StriveHD79 says “This should be a pretty easy lane, you will out range Tristana pre-level 16. This means you can constantly harass her whenever she goes for CS, building a Health advantage for yourself. The only thing you have to watch out for is her all-in potential, you want to save your net (E ability) when she tries to jump into you. You never want to do it out of reaction, always try to anticipate it, there have been times where a Tristana jump onto me, and actually walked behind me to dodge my net (E ability).”
StriveHD79 says “You can bully her in lane, but you can also just as easily be blown up by her if you play incorrectly. This will heavily depend on the support pick. Play extra safe if she has engage support. Otherwise you should come out ahead.”
StriveHD79 says “She will be looking for an all-in chance, a way to jump in and blow you up at any chance given. If her jumps land onto you, it will slow you down so keep your distance at all times. If you are able to farm up well without dying, you will be able to 1v1 him once you have manamune stacked with iceborn gunatlet complete.”
StriveHD79 says “You will kill her 1v1 very easily, but
if you have the losing support matchup, you still have to respect her all-in as she will be looking for an all-in chance, a way to jump in and blow you up at any chance given. Try to avoid her jumps at all cost.”
StriveHD79 says “She will beat you in any given 1v1 situation unless you are 6 items. So make sure to keep a fair bit of distance away, enough that he cannot jump onto of you to slow down. If a fight do break out, make sure to save your spellshield ( your E ) for his explosive charge, either before it gets onto you or right before it explodes ( 4 auto attack and it will explode or 4 seconds when left alone )”
EvoNinja7 says “Another all in champion. She relies on her E a lot, since it now scales with crit and does a lot of damage. Try to poke her out when you have lane priority (in the early game, since she relies on level three to fully all-in). when you can see she is about to jump towards you and E, try to get away. Avoiding her E is pretty hard, so try not to let her hit you once she has E'd you, since it does more damage the more times she hits you. Overall, very hard match up and try to ban her.”
eyh4sxdf says “Early game bully for you as long as she has a good support, watch out for the jumps on top of you and the bombs. Ult to sabe yourself from bomb if you need to”
StriveHD79 says “She will be looking for an all-in chance, a way to jump in and blow you up at any chance given. If her jumps land onto you, it will slow you down so keep your distance at all times. If the support matchup favours you however, you will be able to bully a Tristana out of lane when she is not able to all in you.
”
snukumz says “She's not a huge issue to deal with in lane, but actually kill her can be difficult because she can just W away.
She is squishy though, and if your support has CC then you can both lock her down and ensure the kill.”
xIntangible says “Her early game is a problem as her level 2 all in is deadly, but past that and level 6 its a completely fine lane. However her range scales and she builds crit so when shes 100% crit and level 18, its hard to kill her in teamfights but 1v1 youre fine against her as long as you ult around her w and for her e damage proc.”
Terrific says “You lose against this late game and mid game depending on how early game went, she'll shit on you early game if your support is bad but you should be able to win early game.”
CALSHARKY says “Only person who can beat you 1v1 early and has potential to steamroll you. You can stop her rocket jump with standaside if time it right. wait till her timebomb runs out otherwise she will 100-0 you. Can also use her ult to shove you back.”
Trisien says “A pretty easy matchup, you can cancel her W if you time your E right, and she generally wont be able to do much early. Your Q also does a lot against her. ”
jmtl20 says “Don't play MF against Tristana, she is going to destroy you in lane by decing when and where she wants to fight and is going to scale more than you”
xSEASeahawks12 says “This match up would be an extreme threat if there wasn't such an easy solution to countering her. In lane, shove Tristana as hard as you possibly can until she's under tower. Because of her unique E passive, farming under tower is immensely difficult, especially against the caster minions. Of course, if she throws her E on you, you have to back out and hope she doesn't jump on you and proc everything. But if you can get her under tower, you can mitigate most of her threat in lane.”
Blue gumss says “many jhins don't think about her but she can jump right to you and aa and your already less than half health. Do not underestimate her. ”
Zoodyacc says “In my opinion Tristana is quite complicated to call her a counter, however she out ranges you, her W engage is quite huge against you, you will get outtraded by Tristana in any early trades. You will be fine during late game, and especially if you manage to hit Condem [E].
Beware of Tristana 2lv, any good Tristana will ALWAYS look for opportunity to engage on you as soon as she hits level 2.”
atonementblade says “Be careful of 1v1 in lane. She will outtrade you with her E and can surprise & slow you with her W. Doesn't have any skillshots, so you can poke her with your W and Q.”
CookieLoL says “Tristana has a lot of gap-closing and burst potential so naturally she is good against Aphelios, be careful of getting W'd by her at lvl 2-3”
MayeLeven says “She can't poke you, but she can easily trade you with her E. If she stack her E, it will make a big damage. You can't really get close to her, becouse of her W, but if she used it and you have R you can kill her.”
Midorima says “Tristana has innate pushing power which just naturally counters Vayne due to her lack of waveclear. Farming at turret for Vayne is indeed the safest spot however its also hard to set up the minion health properly. Tristana's all in also beats Vayne's early because Vayne needs about 12 autos to kill her. Tristana needs 5 with E and R.
To win this match up: it requires you to get to the cutlass spike and outplay her when she rocket jumps in. ”
akaCaptini says “Tristana can be vary hard to deal with since she just jumps on you and burst you down but if you have a good support the lane should be fine.”
mrPERISH says “Tristana is a tough matchup for you. She has lots of mobility and DPS. Play safe and wait until you have a good health advantage or a gank.”
Szauronmester says “If she has a support for early pressure for example, Pyke then watch out, she can win if you let her stack her E up on you, farm safe, she can't really freeze, cuz her passive so, farm up to outscale her.”
HyperFake says “Tristana can be quite a difficulty. The range in the late game will be the almost same but she can output more damage in the same time.”
ZERO Destructo says “Similar to Jinx, Tristana is also a strong late game champion. During the laning phase, aside from all-in she does not pose much of a threat for you. You can poke her with 4th shot and crits, and just move back before she manages to stack E on you. With that kind of trade, she will run out of mana quickly. But if you see her jumping on you out of a blue, consider moving back towards your tower, since probably her jungler is ganking.”
Nik7857 says “Despite being a hyper carry, she does crazy damage at the early levels. She will 99% all in you, if she gets level 2 before you. Dodge her W and then try to get those stacks on her heal early if enemy sup has ignite.”
Xelaadryth says “You wont' be able to get onto a Trist since she'll just ult you away from her, so focus the rest of her team instead and just zone her with your ult.”
ReallyBoring says “Not very powerful by herself, its just that her synergy with engage champions is so strong. Be careful and try to poke and push her in.”
Alchemisting says “Her agrssiv play style is just like yours so dont make mistakes ! :D even small ones can be punished.
But if u handle to cancel her rocked jump with ur Stand Aside u almost always win the trades.”
Eccentricks says “The only thing to worry for, is the Ult, which isn't bad really, because nobody knows how to use in low ELO's for some reason. Just watch for her bombs, they can actually be quite scary if used well.”
Lightdead69 says “Tristana is hard only due to a single factor. Miss Fortune has low movement and Tristana has her jump. Just watch out for her jump and time the cooldown in you heead so she doesnt pick you by surprise.”
Deathfeather says “She always scares me because the fact she has a pseudo flash and high burst. Her only problem is that she has very little health and cant burst faster than you.”
jhinners says “Tristana is a very strong counter to jhin. she can all in you very easily and one shot you. you need to play safe in lane and respect her engege.”
EzVeryReal says “You can either completely stomp her or she can just jump on you and you can't get away from her. To me, it's almost a skill matchup. ”
Mr. Nyahr says “Her farm under tower is horrible, so force her to do so whenever possible. Don't stand near low-health creeps to avoid her AoE damage. If you can bait out her Rapid Fire and avoid her, you will have a huge advantage. Be careful of her range and damage later in the match.”
Laverenz says “Also a big counter for Vayne, as she has the ability to poke you down. Also, Tristana has a long-range escape ability, countering everything Vayne stands for; getting up close to long-range ADC's. When Tristana hits level 6 she gets extra range because of her passive, and she gets her Ult... Her Ult is a big counter for Vayne, as it knock you away, countering your up-close-manoeuvre.”
MewlingRavenPaw says “Play at a range in which she cannot engage on you with explosive shot unless she's diving you under tower. Once it's used all in her. Or better yet force her to engage your support then focus the Tristana while your support runs away. ”
minepro221 says “harass on cs, and freeze, If he dare to hop in, EQ her to the face, and trade while she have no cool down. If you teamfight properly, you outscale. So dont worry.”
Kynaz0071l0l says “Shes really weak herself in earlygame. Her synergy with other champions is just insane. Try to poke her alot since she doenst have alot more than her bomb to trade with. Also before going all in bait out her w so she cant escape.”
Eucalyptus says “If she knows what she's doing she will delete you with level 2/3. If she's dumb then you outscale her so hard she'll be calling you a Hong Kong Pangolin collection.”
BRYSE DRAVEN XD says “YOU CAN OUT TRADE IF YOU GET ENOUGH Q AUTOS IN. POKE WHEN SHE CS, BUT DONT MISS CS. SINCE TRISTANA LATE GAME CAN BEAT YOU IF SHE GETS SOME PEEL. CANCEL HER LEAP WITH UR E, THROW WHEN YOU THINK SHES ABOUT TO DO IT. MOST TRISTANAS WILL LEAP WHEN THEY GET STUNNED/HOOKED. ”
Lincoln878 says “I personally think this champion is just broken and impossible to play against, she just jumps on you and autos, when her E pops you healthbar basically vanishes, just wait for her to jump into your support or wait for jungle.”
Fruxo says “Annoying with her poke but you should win against her if you can CC her as otherwise she'll just jump away. Be very careful of her bomb burst too.”
The Jhin Cena says “She's kind of gross with her poke especially when you take into account her passive which increases her attack range. Look out for her W where she jumps on you and slows you, slows can be scary for Jhin and put him at risk for thirsty assassins. Her ult is weird and has actually saved me a few times where I'm too close into melee since it knocks me way back out of the fight. Though be careful with her ult too since if you're ulting, she can hop over near you and ult on you to interrupt yours. ”
Hardstuck Sona says “Tristana won't be afraid to gun you down when the opportunity presents itself. Focus on farming early game and then destroy her late game.”
dravenfizz says “Her all in is very powerful and you should worry more about her support, you can Q her in lane and out damage her pretty easily in quick trades, save your E for their support or if she is trying to go in on you, and DISENGAGE when she uses her bomb on you, it does zero damage if she doesen't max it out and can be easily abused after that. She has also good disengage with her ult, She outscales you pretty hard.”
Ryl Storm says “An AD Carry that can put out a lot more constant damage than Jhin, and one that is a lot more mobile and good at setting up ganks, Tristana will be a threat in the late game. Make sure your team focuses her and anybody peeling for her, while positioning well during teamfights.”
Ursake7no says “When facing Tristana is all about who gets fed first. Only then she can really be a pain in the ass, but if you play cool, in late game she should be an easy kill for you.”
Fruxo says “Annoying with her poke but you should win against her if you can CC her as otherwise she'll just jump away. Be very careful of her bomb burst too.”
IPodPulse says “She has a more heavy AD build in the early game, a built in AS boost, and a way to get jump on top of you. She can deal a lot of damage if she gets a maxed explosive charge. Try to keep distance whenever she places her explosive charge on you and wait for it to run out.
If possible, try and use chain of corruption to root her in place so she cannot rocket jump on top of you. Keep as much distance as you can and deny her the best possible use of her abilities. ”
Righteous Maniac says “Beats you in all ins every time, your damage pales to her earlygame. Try and farm it out and pray that she/her support doesn't catch one of you out. Scales evenly if not better than you as well. Vulnerable when her Q and W are down.”
Exs Xena says “Laning vs Tristana should go quite even. You both have damage burst with Q for Ashe and E for Tristana. Focus on having a strong, but not to active laning phase, you'll want to scale up to 2 items before really fighting hard. ”
Potato95x says “This thing's as dangerous as it's tiny. She's technically your counter. She buffs her range through her levels (you should build range buff items), has an AS buff (Q), gives slow and deals magic dam. (W), a bomb-shot (E) and her Ult knockbacks you.”
GORE Klabok says “-Tristana is another Easy lane matchup Wathever the support.
-Its a fearful champion playstyle because she need to scale into late game.Since she can Jump Across the map and reset that on kill/assist its pretty annoying
1v1 All the time with tristana when you can. She can't trade early game against Kalista (With any Rune/Build).
it's quite unlikely that Tristana HArd carry as much as Jinx but still a Late game champion that *can*carry.”
SimbaADC says “Trist is technically a good matchup for Caitlyn, but in my experience it often results in a win for Tristana. This is because she can punish slight oversteps so easily with her rocket jump. You MUST respect her all in potential when her jungler can be around otherwise you will probably get a CS lead for 5mins, then just get killed by a gank and be vulnerable for the rest of the game. If you play very well around the enemy jungle however, this can be an excellent lane for Caitlyn.”
FrankynFood says “Only escape is w which happens to have very long cd. Don't let her stack her e fully or her w cooldown will reset. When she does w to all-in on you, just wait and then when she tries to late hit a minion or something, ult her and kill her. ”
SlashLion says “Do not. and i mean DO NOT, give Tristana any ground whatsoever. She can engage extremely safely due to her jump resets and has the largest auto attack range in the game without the help of any items/abilities or stacks (referring to Kindred). If she gets fed, the game is over unless you or your team make a legendary comeback.”
lonely Xatu says “it is hard to spellshield most things in her kit and she can easily get out when she is low. try to play safe and spell shield her rocket jump.”
InfernalFox says “A really good Tristana can ruin your day. If you get stunned or don't keep your range, she will all-in you and kill you, because of her E burst and Q attack speed.”
MallisTheGreat says “If you manage to root her, she is pretty easily killed. If she jumps on you, poke her with your E while on air so that you get your Lethal Tempo as early as possible. The rest is pretty much up to your support.”
MallisTheGreat says “She may be able to jump on you, but your E stops her movement on the spot. After that she is pretty easy to burst (watch out for the off-meta runes of Tristana, like Hail of Blades).”
Vortiris says “She is just absolutely annoying. She has insane burst damage, and her Rocket Jump resets on every takedown, so don't let her chain kill. Her mid and late game scaling is better than yours, so end the game as early as possible.”
KawaiiNeko says “Don't let her get too close to you and try not to get poked down by her E push her into her tower, but watch out for an all in with her bomb and ganks.”
Shake the Shade says “Tristana is very deadly if you give her an opening. A mixture of burst with consistent autos from her Q and PTA burst makes this a really deadly matchup. You can win this but if she gets ahead, it's really hard to pick her off.”
BurstTheBots says “As long as you prevent her from powering up her E when it's placed on you or your ADC too much you should be able to shield yourself or your ADC preventing most damage. ”
Lydeer says “her poke is annoying, each time she put the bomb on you run away, low elo tristanas use to greed and jump forward, if you have enought hp, fight her with you support, never alone”
Gun God Mike says “For tristana you can go to stack by engage her support,if you have a winning early you can get she with lesser difficult than in a normal lane.For late watch out on her combo,that can kill you anyway.”
Niculae01 says “Everything that pokes / burst you is a threat for Twitch. Don't fight her, she has almost the same kit in early game than you have, but hers is better so play safe and you should win mid-late game”
Fruxo says “Annoying with her poke but you should win against her if you can CC her as otherwise she'll just jump away. Be very careful of her bomb burst too.”
xTheUnlimited says “At low Lvls you got a good range advantage. You can bully her out of the lane. Care of all in's if she gets an aggressive support. In late game she deals more damage than you. ”
xTheUnlimited says “Early decisions decide this matchup. Try to stay far away from her since her early range nerf makes her weak at early levels. Just bully her alot at early levels and youre fine. ”
LilRalle says “if you gonna play against trist, it's gonan be hard because if you use your ult she can easily jump behind you and use ult to the side where she just was and that would be an easy kill for her and her support.”
FelipeGustavo says “Abuse your snowball and hit it when in range, but be careful not to get wrong because the enemy bot lane will kill you. do not stand near the minions and creeps to avoid receiving damage from the explosion
”
Ch33syB0y8 says “Tristana's power spike comes after yours but that doesn't mean she cant hurt you, after your first item you will have to try and take aggressive trades.”
MrLewie says “If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself going against a Tristana, you'd better make sure you have a support that can stun / root. If she finds herself in any danger she can just peace out of there with a simple jump.”
AsterXI says “Tristana is a bit of challenge if she plays too safe and like a coward, jumping away. She can move away from your ult if she sees it coming with her jump.”
Statix20dan says “Her W hop can be used to chase or to get away from a fight with ease. Her E passive can make it hard to fight around minions and her E active is a burst of AD. And her Q can be difficult to deal with as she levels up, gaining range from her passive.”
qasddsa says “Very strong early game potential. You need to play semi-passively against her and not let her stack her bomb charge on you; you'll instantly lose the trade if it detonates at full stacks. Look to harass her with Fishbones' splash and Q whenever possible and let your support engage. Late game, you should look to shut her down immediately in teamfights. Winning this matchup late game mainly depends on your team and your ability to position well; if you get caught out by her she has a much higher chance of winning the duel if you're about even in items.”
undeadsoldiers says “Tristana is a pretty big threat to you. You have to get perfect positioning, otherwise, she can just ult you out of your ult, so beware of that.”
weinerman says “hah, pathetic, this champion is sorta obvious and you can poke her a lot with ur everything, don't prime spell shield when she engages so u can spell shield when her bomb explodes (unless her support is looking spooky). also always keep in mind that she has a jump move that can chase u ez mode so u cant always poke and escape if ur pushed up hard.”
Seigemaster035 says “This is a skill matchup. A bad trist will take bad trades and allow you to scale before she does. A good one will dive you in fights and out scale you since she basically gains a free firecannon. since she wins early trades just wait for late and avoid her all together.”
Robin Banks says “If you're pushed too far up in lane she can all in you and kill you. While I think this lane is even since you can stay safe and farm safe, her kill pressure on you is always there. Again, just make sure to land your Q's to dissuade her from taking an all in. Also, she outscales you. At Lvl 5 you guys have about the same range. At lvl 11 she out ranges you heavily (605 to 550). Post 6 if she finds you alone, she'll kill you. ”
Nittwerp says “Never 1v1 Tristana if she has her Q+E+R Ready. If you are alone in lane she only has to jump on you and unleash her combo and you're 100% dead. Your only chance to win 1v1's is to engage her when her E is on cooldown.”

Tips Against Tristana in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
LunarVortex says “Trist mid can be a pain in the ass. If you ever waste your Q, she will all-in you and at least chunk you out of lane heavily. You also cannot really prevent her from constantly shoving and taking some platings. Coordinate ganks with your jungler.”
Reppy says “Unlike Lucian, Tristana has a jump AND a knockback, both which can dodge Katarina’s daggers. She also usually goes resolve secondary which makes it very hard to trade with her when she can cc you and jump away in a short trade + boneplating. The only time you can kill her is if she messes up or if you call a jungler or support to help you out.”
Hullos says “High dmg, good escape and engage. though if she does not burst you a few q's can kill her fast. Though if she gets ahead play super safe. ”
Nanelol says “She can outtrade you at every point of laningphase. She can oneshot you if you are greedy for a minion. XP is always more important than getting the gold. Don't die for gold.”
ShadowSlayerMain says “Her AAs are strong so don't approach her in Early Game, just last hit minions, she can't block any of your damage but she can still escape with W”
Ambitieux says “Same goes for lucian. Hyper aggressive but just like any other adc mid laner. Sit back and wait for armguard and hit level 6 you most likely out damage them due to you being an assassin and them being a adc. Be cautious of her flashing over ur charm. Look for charms only during her W.”
Impossible2Gank says “Try to avoid getting bombed and jumped on or else the lane will be quite tough. If she knows the matchup she'll just avoid any box plays and react accordingly. ”
ParkboyYT says “If somebody dare go Tristana mid then your in for a painshow however it is not unplayable. Try and get your JG to CC her and Q3 ult. But overall if it is a good Tristana she will be hard to beat”
FalleN3 says “DO NOT feed her in lane... AP Tristana will fall off very hard after laning phase... but she is seriously dangerous in lane.
AD Tristana will be much easier to lane against.
Difficult to kill until you are level 6+”
vCraze says “Tristana is a very tough matchup early and you cannot allow her to get a kill on you as this will snowball out of control. Check to see what she has levelled up first (if she kills a minion and it does AoE damage she has E and if not she most likely has W). If she has W you cannot contest the first wave, just get what you can. If she has E then you can walk up and try to get as much of the first wave as possible but don't get within her AA range. Once she hits level 2 she will level up either ability she did not start with and try to all-in you. You need to play under tower as much as possible in this matchup and take what you can get. If she uses her E on the tower make sure you are not standing next to it as you will take AoE damage from the explosion. Once you hit Ludens if she is not a long way ahead this is your first chance to play the game so try to poke her but watch out for her jump.”
Frixen says “A very tough early game matchup, try to get out of the lane as early as possible, don't trade with her, as well as keep SAFER than safe distance as she can just jump onto you whenever she likes pretty much. Keep your gold card and please get bone plating. Roaming is hard due to her absolutely demolishing turrets, so only roam if you're 100% certain you will get something out of it.”
fwii says “Start Corrupting Potion and just farm early with W. Be careful of her level 2 all-in and back off to wait until the wave pushes into you. Easily winnable after level 6. ”
Veralion says “HoB/DH/beads. Tristana mid is being popularized by competitive play, and for good reason. Her all in does a crazy amount of damage to low mobility mages and she can frequently kill people with no escapes from full with a PtA buffed E and R burst. Thankfully, you are not low mobility and have this little thing called Burnout. You can W back whenever she tries to stack her bomb up and prevent the brunt of her damage. Tristana must also shove the wave and doesn't really have much of a say in the matter because of her E. You play this lane by keeping a respectful distance, never letting her have the chance to proc PtA and stack her bomb past 2 hits, and making damn sure you're never close enough for her to land her W slow, which is significant. Just farm under turret and stack up Seeker's. She can disengage in two different ways, so hold ult for a skirmish or gank. Tristana's damage comes from repeated hits, so you can quickly walk up to peck the caster wave under your turret without taking much punishment. Be mindful if you smell blood and jump in that she can't ult you into her jungler or her turret, though.”
Man0Vit0r says “[Eng]: Tristana can be a bit tricky to play against, as it can cause you considerable damage in the early game, its jump allows it to escape easily from ganks, and still manage to jump on you and cause you a lot of damage if you have no stun.
[BR]: Tristana pode ser um pouco complicado de se jogar contra, pois pode causar danos consideráveis no early game, seu salto permite que ela escape facilmente de ganks, e ainda consegue pular em você e causar-lhe muitos danos se você não tiver nenhum atordoamento.”
GaySett says “Rush armor cloth after your B.F. sword. Don't let her poke you down in lane- farm safely.
Build randuin's omen third item in case she's building crit.”
Zoe Sparklepop says “Tristana mid has become very scary once again due to her crit increases E damage buff
You do not want to be caught without your stun while against her, she out ranges you a little so be wary of that.
Try to poke her with stun and run away with E right after otherwise she'll retaliate with a painful pain train.”
1256 says “right now (10.15) shes on a clock, but in 10.16 i guess she is the best new kassadin counter bc she is able to burst you out and you cant react, always dodge or beg your jungler to help you, shes allin ad so you can take electro to do nasty qew when she goes in, else just farm it up, she permashoves so just freeze it
fleet+res, electro if confident”
yuuwumi says “UNPLAYABLE, PERMA JUMPS ON YOU AND EATS HALF OF YOUR HEALTH IN 2 SECONDS JUST BAN IT
(KEEP IN MIND THAT EVERY ADC MID IS SHIT MATCHUP VS KASS, BUT TRIST IS PRETTY MUCH THE WORST)”
Gageowago says “Another annoying ADC matchup. You have to keep your distance from the minion wave because of the passive on her e. Again do not trade autos with her, and back off from her when she throws her bomb onto you or minions. Call for ganks. You can charm her out of her rocket jump. Do not let her free farm because she scales very fast.”
BigBushMan says “Similar to Lucian, but has much more all-in potential with her E. If she ever uses her W, punish her before she resets it with her E explosion or when it comes off cd. Beyond that, just poke from afar.”
vaske_lol says “Tristana naturally shoves the wave by picking up cs. Use this to your advantage and freeze the wave in front of your tower. If she gets greedy and uses her W to engage without procing her reset (exploding her E with an auto-attack) will leave her out of position vulnerable to ganks for the time being. Try your best to pick up farm while not getting poked down to her kill range. If she uses her W on you, try to hit her with EQ and disengage with your R.
Opt for Ninja Tabi.”
EvilBird090 says “Tristana mid with PTA and Ignite is one of the hardest midlaners you will face early to mid game. Her burst is quite insane, I would recommend to retreat most of the times when she jumps on you as she will probably win. Do that by proccing Phase Rush fast, for example auto+tap E into W to your tower. You can also W her ult but it will not go on a long CD. You beat Tristana at level 11 but before that do not expect to kill her.”
Novok says “One of the worst enemys of Mordekaiser. Tristana's range+ her jump make it extremely hard to get to her, even in your ult. Oh, and don't forget her ult aswell so you will never get to her in time. She can easily kill you if you are even if she doesn't suck.”
schulti012 says “Hard to play early, but if you dont push she cannot freeze the wave with her E passive. Wait for your jungler to shut her down. Get dorans shield”
MrLewie says “If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself going against a Tristana, you'd better make sure you have a support that can stun / root. If she finds herself in any danger she can just peace out of there with a simple jump.”
