How it works

General

  1. You are going Guinsoo's Rageblade, building Attack Speed and On-Hit items.
  2. Thanks to Guinsoo's Rageblade, your On Hit effects are gonna trigger two times every third Attack.
  3. You are gonna play Carry for your team.

How to play

General

  1. Build On-Hit items!
  2. Usually Guinsoo's Rageblade is not good first rush. Get it as #2 or #3 item.
  3. Your first item should be adapting to enemy team:
    • If they have tons of HP stacking bruisers/tanks - go Blade of The Ruined King.
    • If they are super magic damage heavy / CC - go Wit's End.
    • If you want to become more tanky - go Titanic Hydra.
    • You can get Statikk Shiv for some fun and wave clear.
    • Otherwise, you can get Kraken Slayer.
  4. You need some time to ramp-up your damage (runes, items etc.), so position well and keep auto attacking!
  5. Remember to use Titanic Hydra active! It deals additional damage and also resets auto attack timer!

Tips and Tricks

Champion

  1. R + Flash Combo: You can do 'insec' trick on Tristana by using Buster Shot (R) and Flash.
  2. 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).

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.
