Cassiopeia vs Tristana

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use mid-range spacing to land (Q) poison before committing to extended (E) trades.
Deny Tristana's level 2 all-in by respecting her jump and waiting for (W) cooldown.
Focus on sustained fights where repeated (E) damage outpaces her burst and resets.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to apply poison, then spam (E) for sustained damage.
Use (W) to ground and slow Tristana when she tries to jump in or escape.
Avoid short trades without poison, as her burst and jump can punish missed (Q).

Danger windows

Respect Tristana's level 2 all-in with support follow-up; avoid fighting until (W) is down.
Be cautious when (W) is on cooldown, as she can jump freely to engage or escape.
Avoid standing too close to turret plates when she stacks (E) for burst and turret pressure.

Early game

Avoid trading before level 3 when (W) and (R) are unavailable to counter her jump.
Hold mid-range wave to prevent Tristana from crashing and forcing turret plates.
Punish (W) use without follow-up by stepping forward for poke or damage.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling strong all-ins or punishes on Tristana when she faces you.
First mana/AP item significantly improves your ability to sustain long trades and pressure waves.
Post-level 3, extended fights favor you as you can repeatedly cast (E) on poisoned targets.

Win conditions

Maintain mid-range spacing to consistently land (Q) and keep Tristana poisoned for (E) damage.
Use (W) and (R) to punish her jump and force her off aggressive resets.
Scale into extended fights where your sustained DPS and anti-mobility zone dominate her burst.

Tip: For Cassiopeia vs Tristana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
