Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

TristanaTristana suffers a lot the early game phase, expecially against early game ADCs like JhinJhin and DravenDraven . Despite this, TristanaTristana has a huge spike in mid game, and one of the best late game among all ADCs on Wild Rift, like JinxJinx or VayneVayne .

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

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

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

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

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

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