Renekton vs Tristana

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use early fury stacks and short burst trades to punish Tristana's passive wave push.
Deny Tristana level 2 all-in by controlling the first two waves and avoiding her jump follow-up.
Convert early lane pressure into plate damage before she scales into mid-game resets.

Trading pattern

Engage with (E) dash, use empowered (W) stun, then (Q) and exit with second (E) to avoid her counter.
Punish Tristana when her (W) jump is on cooldown by stepping up for quick trades.
Avoid using both (E) dashes forward without a clear kill or wave control to prevent counterpunish.

Danger windows

Respect Tristana's level 2 all-in especially with support follow-up; avoid extended trades before this.
Avoid overextending when her (W) jump and (R) knockback are available to prevent knockback and burst.
Be cautious when both (E) dashes are spent forward, as you lose escape and become vulnerable.

Early game

Crash early waves to force Tristana to farm under turret and delay her level 2 spike.
Trade only with full fury and (W) ready to avoid extended fights against her burst.
Reset after short trades to avoid her (W) jump resets and turret pressure.

Power spikes

Level 3 unlocks full combo allowing lethal short trades; trade only with high fury and exit paths.
Level 6 (R) adds health and damage, enabling all-ins after chipping Tristana's health.
First item spike increases burst potential; use it to force recalls and secure plates.

Win conditions

Use early fury trades and wave crashes to deny Tristana free farm and force turret plates.
Force all-ins post-level 6 with (R) when Tristana is low or overextended under wave pressure.
Convert lane priority into mid-game roams or jungle pressure to snowball before she scales.
