Critical Rate totals 100% and Attack Speed totals 135%. Mortal Reminder gives 30% AR Pen, with another 6% whenever an attack Critically Strikes, and dealing physical damage to enemy champions applies 50% Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds, so opponents who heal cannot outlast you. Bloodthirster's 8% Physical Vamp climbs by another 4% on crits, while Mercurial Scimitar adds 40 Magic Resistance and an active that removes all crowd control debuffs from you.

Tristana Strengths

  • Basic attack range that keeps growing with level
  • Fast tower and objective damage
  • Skill 2 jump resets on kills and assists

Tristana Weaknesses

  • ×Short early range makes lane trades hard
  • ×Skill 3 passive makes precise wave control difficult
  • ×A mid-game damage dip before items come online

Early Game

Your Skill 3 passive tends to push the wave whether you want it to or not, so keep an eye out for enemy ganks. Your level 2 and 3 all-ins hit hard, though. If the enemy slips up, jump in with Skill 2 and build a lead.

Mid Game

Use the whole map and split-push to take undefended towers quickly. If you find an isolated enemy, burst them with Skill 3 into Skill 2, then use the jump reset to get back to safety right away.

Late Game

Thanks to your passive, your attack range grows to one of the longest in the game. Use that range to chip towers and frontliners from a distance where they cannot fight back. In the late game your DPS makes you the team's main damage source.

Teamfights

In teamfights, melt the closest frontliner first from a safe position. Skill 2's cooldown resets on kills and assists, so reposition with each reset. If an assassin dives you, knock them away with Ult to make space.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Reckless forward jumps with Skill 2

Jumping forward with Skill 2 for a tempting kill without checking for nearby enemies or remaining CC is dangerous. If it fails, you are isolated in the enemy team and die. Use Skill 2 mainly to reposition or escape, and only jump forward when the kill and the reset are certain. Keep your Lv5 Ult for self-peel and disengage.

Tristana Combos

All-in Combo

Jump in with Skill 2 and attach the bomb from Skill 3. Stack it to max with autos to detonate, then finish with Ult.

Tristana Patch History

Tristana
TristanaPatch 7.1d
Buff
Explosive Charge Explosion damage after a unit kill: 55/85/115/145 → 65/100/135/170 The explosion gains damage at every rank, rising from 145 to 170 at rank 4. Since it goes off when the charged unit dies, Tristana clears waves faster and can shove the lane more freely. That shove converts into tower pressure, a roam, or a safe recall, which is where her early tempo comes from. Rank 1 gains 10, so the buff is noticeable well before the ability is maxed.
Tristana
TristanaPatch 7.0f
Buff
Rapid Fire Cooldown: 18/17/16/15s → 17/16/15/14s Rapid Fire is where Tristana's damage comes from, and whether it is up decides how a trade goes. Trimming the cooldown from 18/17/16/15s to 17/16/15/14s means she is more likely to have it ready for a second skirmish that follows quickly after the first. It is a small change rather than a dramatic one, but it makes it easier to time an engage against the enemy's own cooldowns.
