How to play

General

  1. You build Lethality and play like AD caster.
  2. If an enemy team is full of tanks or bruisers, rush Serylda's Grudge or even Lord Dominik's Regards early (sometimes even #2). Black Cleaver is also an alternative. The key is to adapt to the enemy team.

Tips and Tricks

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.
