TRISTANA GUIDE

Since her recent buff on all her kit, Tristana entered overwhelmingly in Dragon's Lane meta. Let's see how to build her, her best rune configuration and when to use her talking about matchups.

Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

Tristana suffers a lot the early game phase, expecially against early game ADCs like Jhin and Draven . Despite this, Tristana has a huge spike in mid game, and one of the best late game among all ADCs on Wild Rift, like Jinx or Vayne .

Blade of the Ruined King is the most similar item to Kraken Slayer in League of Legends, and Rapid Firecannon helps Tristana having more range than her enemies.

To further enhance Tristana 's damage, nothing's better than Infinity Edge as third item.

You can build Guardian Angel to protect yourself from enemy's burst damage, or just for making you really unkillable.

As situational items, I personally recommend Mortal Reminder in almost all cases, because you will always have to negate enemy sustain or kill tanks.

Tristana Runes

Best Runes for Tristana

Keystone

Conqueror

Domination

Gathering Storm

Resolve

Bone Plating

Inspiration

Sweet Tooth

Missing "Hail Blades" from League of Legends, Conqueror is the best main rune for Tristana right now. It gives bonus AD when you hit enemy champions multiple times, up to 5 stacks.

Considering Tristana 's scaling need, Gathering Storm helps her giving her AD as time goes. Bone Plating and Sweet Tooth are mainly for Tristana 's survavibility in the laning phase.

1st

This is one of the basic combo you can do from level 2 with Tristana. Basically a full charged Explosive Charge gives you a Rocket Jump reset completely free.

Tristana Matchups & Counters

Detailed information on how to play matchups and counters

Easy

Ezreal

Medium

Kai'sa

Hard

Draven

Hard

Jhin

Ezreal is one of the worst choices against Tristana . Considered Ezreal 's kit and damage output, the higher mobility and damage scaling makes Ezreal an easy lane for Tristana , and an easier mid and late phases.
