Ezreal vs Tristana

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ezreal wins by landing (Q) poke when Tristana steps up for last hits outside minion cover.
Tristana's lane pressure peaks with level 2 all-in and turret plate threat from (E) stacks.
Ezreal needs to maintain distance, use (E) defensively, and punish Tristana's committed jumps without support follow-up.

Trading pattern

Punish Tristana's last-hit attempts when she steps away from minion cover and enemy support is not in engage range.
Use (Q) poke through minions to harass before she stacks (E) fully or jumps in.
Avoid extended auto trades if (E) is down, as Tristana's burst and turret pressure increase risk.

Danger windows

Tristana's level 2 jump (W) with support follow-up creates a lethal all-in window; avoid stepping forward then.
When (E) is fully stacked on you, she can burst and reset; back off or use (E) to reposition.
After using (E) aggressively, you become vulnerable to her all-in and turret dive pressure.

Early game

Use the first three waves to farm safely and position where (Q) can hit Tristana during caster minion last hits.
Avoid stepping forward at level 2 if Tristana and her support can engage with (W) jump and follow-up.
Keep wave near your side to reduce Tristana's jump angles and limit her all-in windows.

Power spikes

First completed item enables repeated (Q) poke to control wave and contest dragon setups effectively.
Level 6 (R) adds global pressure but focus on lane poke and (E) safety before committing to fights.
Tristana's level 2 spike with (W) jump and (E) burst demands respect; avoid trades if she hits it first without support cooldowns down.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) poke damage into health leads to force Tristana recalls and deny turret plates.
Use wave control and item spikes to contest dragon setups and force Tristana under tower.
Survive early all-ins with (E) and scale into mid-game where your poke and mobility outmatch her burst resets.
