Tips and trick for Tristana
Early game
In the early game, Tristan should aim to do small trades and avoid all-in if possible. As she out scales most marksmen in the late game, she does not need to play aggressively for leads in the early phase. Make use of Tristana’s Ability 3, Explosive Charge passive and active, to win small trades during the landing phase. As there is a delay to Tristana’s Ability 2, Rocket Jump, work with a Supporter toward out common ganking spots and use the ability to reposition as soon as spot any fishy and threatening activities in the surrounding!
Mid game
During team fights or skirmishes, if a high threat enemy champion gets too close, use Ability 2, Rocket Jump first, then while in mid-air, use Ultimate, Buster Shot to immediately widen the gap between Tristana and the enemy threat. Focus on damaging the closest target unless there is an opportunity to instantly delete enemy priority targets (the carries).
