Tristana Build Guide by CookiesNCream

AWESOME BANNERS ARE AWESOME. I think they're better than mine.. xD Good luck on this - I expect to see it get really high in rating.

You should take Heal / Cleanse over Ignite since you already have the healing reduction with your E.

Very nice build, but pls explain why you take your Q so late?

Good guide and build. I main Tristana in ranked though, and in ranked at least, I find that you absolutely have to get Last Whisper right after Phantom Dancer and before The Bloodthirster. Against carries it'll do more or less the same damage as The Bloodthirster would, but against tanks and bruisers, it does waaay more damage. And seeing as unless they're massively out of position, there's no way you can focus carries without being in the middle of their team, easy to focus, you have to kill the tanks first before you can start attacking the carries. So Last Whisper before The Bloodthirster, every time, in my ranked experience.

Ignite is pretty common for ADC in high elo games along with cleanse. it provides a lot more burst all game long. summoner spells are just based on preference, it's not set in stone

Wow, thanks for the large amount of support guys! :D

Yeah, it's true Trist already has a built-in grevious wounds debuff, but the amount of times Ignite has helped me in getting a kill is too large to ignore. Heal is usually something my support gets... but admittedly Cleanse is a summoner spell that I completely forgot, haha
I'll make sure to include it in the guide ~




Rapid Fire is a skill that is most efficient when standing still. Obviously, the enemy team won't be standing still, so using this in team fights is not beneficial and wastes the small pool of mana you have. This skill becomes more and more useful as the game progresses however, as your autoattack range increases. This means it won't matter if your targets are moving or not, because they'll still be within range. So, early game when your autoattack range is small, this skill is useless. However, start taking points into it at level 8, because that's when you'll be attacking stationary targets such as dragon and turrets.




This isn't something I've tried many times, so I'll look into it ~

Anyways, thanks for the great amount of help guys :D
I'll try to update this guide as much as I can!

Well done, unique list of AttackSpeed and AutoAttack range!

I usually skip the Doran's Ring, but do exactly this!

Sorry but this guide is sometimes contradictorily. You are playing with MR/lvl runes which gives you +24 MR at lvl 18. In total you will have 54 MR then. Which means it isnt enough if you get focused all the time as you mentioned in the pros & cons. Better buy def items like Banshees. And dont waste Runes for MR when you dont need them early like you said yourselfe. So getting MR runes is not the best choice in runes.

Next thing is: you buy vampiric scepter in mid game???? why that? it gives you only 10% life steal. With your IE finished you have 178 dmg at lvl 18. 10% is 17,8 life per shot. This isn't enough to survive fights when getting focused. And even if you are just gets attacked by the other ad carry you will lose way more life then you will heal up. You have to buy the scepter in early game after the 2 Dorans. This will help you to stay longer in lane. But nothing else.

And if you say that you will be focused as Tristana, what is true, why dont you buy a def item like GA much earlier in game like after having IE and Phantom Dancer. This will help you to survive teamfights and not a vampiric scepter or 24 MR in runes.....
