How to beat Tristana

Common role: ADC

A hypercarry marksman who jumps in, resets and blows up the fight.

What makes Tristana dangerous

Tristana gains huge attack range as she levels, jumps in or out with W (which resets on kills), plants an explosive E bomb, and knocks a diver away with her R. Late game she deletes tanks and resets across a fight, becoming nearly unstoppable if she gets ahead.

How to play against Tristana

• 1Punish her early: levels 1–8 she is one of the weakest laning marksmen.
• 2Engage when her W is down — without her jump she has no escape.
• 3Bait her R (knockback) early; it is her main disengage tool.
• 4Itemize armor and stack health so her late-game auto DPS is manageable.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Weak early and through the mid-game window.
• ✓Relies entirely on W for safety; catch her with it on cooldown.
• ✓Immobile without her jump — a gap-closer kills her.
• ✓Her R can be baited, leaving her without disengage.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Tristana's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  ドロー＆グロー

  レベルが上がるごとに射程が増加する。

  Strong: her attack range grows every level into the longest in the game. Weak: at level 1 her range is short — punish her before it scales.

• Q
  ラピッドファイア

  高速で連射を行い、攻撃速度が数秒間増加する。

  Strong: a big attack-speed steroid that spikes her DPS in fights. Weak: it's a temporary window — disengage until it expires.

• W
  ロケットジャンプ

  地面を砲撃した反動で指定地点へジャンプし、着地と同時に周辺のユニット全員にダメージを与え、短時間スロウ効果を付与する。

  Strong: a leap for engage or escape that resets on a kill. Weak: her only mobility — catch her with it on cooldown and she's stuck.

• E
  ヨードルグレネード

  自動効果: ユニットを倒すと砲弾が炸裂して金属片が飛び散り、周辺の敵ユニットにダメージを与える。発動効果: 対象にグレネードを付着させる。グレネードは数秒後に起爆し、対象と周囲のユニットにダメージを与える。

  Strong: a bomb that autos stack, then detonates for heavy AoE burst. Weak: it needs several autos to charge — disrupt her before it detonates.

• R
  バスターショット

  敵ユニット1体へ向けて巨大な砲弾を発射し、魔法ダメージを与えてノックバックさせる。対象に「ヨードルグレネード」が付着していた場合、爆発半径が2倍になる。

  Strong: knocks a diver away and resets her Explosive Charge. Weak: it's also her disengage — bait it, then commit when it's down.

Itemization

Armor (Frozen Heart, Randuin's) tames her late auto DPS. Assassins and hard engage punish the window before she has her core items and W resets.
