Bruiser Tristana Build

General

1. You play Bruiser stacking HP, auto attacking and rushing one specific item. You adapt to enemy team, building tanky items.
2. You rush Titanic Hydra.
3. Titanic Hydra can be your only damage item. Then go full tank.
4. Your auto attacks are quite powerful, thanks to Titanic Hydra and Grasp of the Undying. It's your main source of damage + your abilities.

1. 🌊 Rush Titanic Hydra early - it is your core and defines the build.
2. ⚔️ Play aggressive and look for opportunities to stack Grasp of the Undying and to activate your Titanic Hydra.
3. 💪 Stack health.
4. 🛡️ Adapt your tankiness to the enemy team: build armor, MR, or sustain as needed.

General

1. This build is focused on a single item - Titanic Hydra.
2. How is this build different to other bruisers builds? The main difference is item rush order. You rush Titanic Hydra first, then adapt to the situation!
3. Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
4. A very effective way of poking enemies is to use Titanic Hydra Active and hit minions in front of them (closer to them, better the effect).
5. Another effective way of poking enemies with Titanic, is to hit caster minions in the back.

Items

1. If you want to go more damage, Sundered Sky is an excellent damage item for this build. It scales off your HP (so with Grasp, Overgrowth). It gives damage and pretty good sustain in fights. Remember to switch targets to maximize the effect!

Adaptation

1. 👊 If ahead, consider adding a second damage item to snowball.
2. 🏰 If behind, focus purely on being frontline with Titanic Hydra as your only damage.
3. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.

Rapid Fire (Q)

1. Rapid Fire (Q) is very powerful cooldown. Don't waste it. Make sure you use it well in fights or for pushing - i.e. when fight actually happens or when stacking E.

Explosive Charge (E)

1. Your abilities also add stack to your Explosive Charge (E), so you can proc 4th stack with Rocket Jump (W) or Buster Shot (R)!
2. If you proc it with Buster Shot (R) (4th stack) detonation will happen after knock back.
3. If you managed to stac 2 or 3 stacks of Explosive Charge (E) on the enemy, in most cases, you can safely jump on him with Rocket Jump (W) and jump out with another W (detonating E resets W).
4. You can harras enemy by placing Explosive Charge (E) on an enemy turret for big AoE explosion. Just make sure you get away without takin aggro.

Buster Shot (R)

1. You can use Buster Shot (R) to interrupt enemy channels or knock away AoE ults.
2. You can also knock enemies into your team if you position properly or they misposition. Be careful to not do this with enemy tanks or engagers though.
3. You can Buster Shot (R) enemies into wall. Instead of getting knocked away, they will stay in place, be stunned and exposed for some sweet damage.

Turret Pushing

1. Tristana in ARAM is beast pusher. Pop Rapid Fire (Q) and Explosive Charge (E) and see turrets disappear.

Tristana Combos

1. R + Flash Combo: You can do 'insec' trick on Tristana by using Buster Shot (R) and Flash.
2. Go in combo: Apply Explosive Charge (E), activate Rapid Fire (Q) right away for more attack speed to stack it and then activate Rocket Jump (W), get W reset and W away.

Riot

1. Her massive gun allows Tristana to fire on targets at a great distance. Utilize this to prevent your enemies from ever laying a hand on you.
2. Use Rocket Jump after you have stacked up your Explosive Charge on an enemy to finish them off with a burst of damage.
3. Use Rapid Fire to help stack up your Explosive Charge on enemy champions.
