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
  정조준

  레벨이 올라갈수록 공격 사거리도 올라갑니다.

  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
  속사

  트리스타나가 짧은 시간 동안 공격 속도를 높이며 빠르게 탄환을 발사합니다.

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

• W
  로켓 점프

  트리스타나가 땅에 대포를 쏴 추진력을 얻어 먼 곳으로 이동합니다. 착륙한 지점 근처의 적 유닛에게 피해를 주며 잠깐 동안 이동 속도를 느리게 합니다.

  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
  폭발 화약

  트리스타나가 적을 처치할 때마다 대포알이 조각 조각 터지면서 주변 적에게 피해를 입힙니다. 스킬을 활성화하면 대상 적에게 폭탄을 부착하여, 잠시 후 터지면서 주위 유닛들에게도 피해를 입힙니다.

  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
  대구경 탄환

  트리스타나가 무기에 거대한 대포알을 장착하여 적 유닛에게 발사합니다. 이 스킬은 마법 피해를 입히고 적을 뒤로 밀어냅니다. 대상에게 폭발 화약이 붙어 있을 경우 폭발 범위가 두 배로 늘어납니다.

  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.
