Overview

Use (W) and (E) to punish Tristana's aggressive jumps and burst attempts.
Prioritize pushing or holding mid waves to enable side lane roams with (R).
Absorb her physical poke by leveraging your magic shield and short-range trades.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) and passive for quick poke, then punish with (W) taunt if she steps close.
Avoid trading when (W) or (E) are on cooldown to prevent losing short-range control.

Danger windows

Respect Tristana's level 2 all-in window with support follow-up; hold (W) and (E) to counter.
Avoid committing when (R) is down as your map impact and peel drop sharply.
Beware of her (R) knockback disrupting your engage or peeling attempts.

Early game

Contest level 2 power spike by holding (W) and (E) ready to interrupt her jump.
Avoid extended trades before first durability item to reduce burst risk.
Push wave after level 3 to threaten roams and force Tristana to respect your engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) unlocks impactful roams and counter-engage opportunities; track cooldown closely.
First durability or AP utility item increases survivability and trade safety.
Post-item power spike lets you pressure waves and roam more confidently.

Win conditions

Push mid wave to create roam windows and impact side fights with (R).
Use (W) and (E) layered CC to punish Tristana's jumps and burst combos.
Track (R) cooldown to protect allies or initiate fights, turning lane pressure into team advantage.
