Riven vs Tristana

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use cooldown sequencing to trade short bursts before Tristana can respond with jump or burst damage.
Avoid committing after using (Q) and (E) as your mobility and shield cooldowns are down.
Punish Tristana's passive wave push by crashing waves and threatening resets or roams.

Trading pattern

Engage with (E) shield, chain (Q) and (W) for stun and knockup, then disengage before cooldown downtime.
Punish Tristana after she uses (W) jump without reset potential.
Avoid extended trades when your mobility is spent and Tristana can retaliate with burst and knockback.

Danger windows

Respect Tristana's level 2 jump all-in when supported, especially with CC follow-up.
Avoid fighting when (E) is fully stacked, increasing her burst and turret pressure.
Be cautious if Tristana uses (R) knockback to interrupt your engage or disengage.

Early game

Contest level 2 to avoid Tristana's jump all-in with support follow-up.
Use early (W) stun after Tristana wastes (W) or (E) to punish her cooldowns.
Watch for wave states where Tristana's passive push exposes her to ganks or engage.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) execute, enabling lethal combos after chipping Tristana down.
First haste/damage item reduces cooldowns, allowing more frequent trades and pressure.
Level 3 full kit enables short burst trades with full combo potential.

Win conditions

Bait Tristana's jump or burst cooldowns, then punish with full (Q)(W)(E)(R) combos.
Use wave crashes to deny her turret plates and force recalls.
Snowball side lanes or roam after winning mid trades to maximize pressure and objectives.

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