INTRODUCTION


Hey my name is lKERSHAWl i make youtube videos and stream on twitch tho you dont care... Im a gold elo tristana main if you have any questions just msg me on twiter on here idc.
So tristana is a hypercarry meaning she scales so much late games and just bursts people and carries her team to make a comeback.
Before we get into it you can get a free tristana skin what makes this champion the best adc all you have to do is like leagues facebook page.

WHY PLAY TRISTANA?


PROS
+ Hypercarry
+ W Resets for easy getaways or just to run down the enemy's
+ Destroys towers almost as fast a ziggs using her E
+ She only really has one build so its easy to remember
+ Godly Bursts
+ Unless you count the W, no skills-shots
+ If positioned right she just tears through the enemy team

Cons
- Early game she can be useless if behind
- She can be very weak unless she gets her items
- if badly positioned she is useless

RUNES


Like almost every adc you need to take 9 lethality Marks for the attack damage hence the name lethality damage carry. You need 9 armour seals or you will just get 1 hit by everything and will be useless in teamfights. 9 Magic resist glyphs or like the armour reasoning you will get 1 hit in teamfights then gg to you. And to finish off make sure to run 3 Greater Attack speed quintessences so tristana's attack speed doesn't compare to champions in the bot lane such as jinx and its fairly hard to farm early without it.
Back to Top

MASTERIES (May Be Out Of Date Check Masterys Under The Build)


Make sure to run 18 ferocity and 12 cunning as this is this recommended for most adc's.
FEROCITY
. 5 Fury for the attack speed as it makes it easier to burst people
. Go Fresh Blood so you can start strong if ever caught in a 1v1 situation
. 5 Natural Talent as this scales your attack damage and ability power so you can hit harder and burst people faster with your E
. Bounty Hunter as the longer the game goes on the more kills you will get meaning you will scale more and burst people faster and late game is were is counts
. 5 Battering Blows as you need the armour pen to mow down tanks who will change the tides of a teamfight and destroy the unkillable champions who just walk through your team
. FERVOR , warlords has been patched a bit and fervor works extremely well with your e stack so make sure you use this.
CUNNING
. 5 Savagery because it makes it easier to farm and cmon who needs out of combat movement speed
. Secret Stash as you NEED these pots to be able to stay in lane against the enemy adc and its a must for every adc
. 5 Merciless as it makes it alot easier to destroy people in teamfights and gives you the edge in the 1v1 situation
. Dangerous Game as when you kill someone this gives you the mana and health to use your reset W to jump out of the battle if your low or to keep on going if you need

SUMMONERS


TELEPORT - This is really useful as it helps you jump straight into the team fights and tp gank your bot lane however if somebody else on your team is using tp i recommend either heal or ignite as it could save your lane if things go wrong.
Heal - Some top laners will force the lane and pressure you as much as possible but if you run heal you can catch them off guard if you engage or they force winning you the fight it can also save your life if you are low.
Ignite - I wouldn't recommend it however if you feel though you can get the early kill go for it as it can change the outcome of your lane.

TIPS


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.
Use Rocket Jump after you have stacked up your Explosive Charge on an enemy to finish them off with a burst of damage.
Use Rapid Fire to help stack up your Explosive Charge on enemy champions.

LORE


Tristanas lore if anyone is interested
The Quiet Night
The fire was crackling away nicely, spreading a warm glow throughout the forest clearing. Tristana lay on her back with her head pillowed on her pack, watching a comet streak across the starlit sky. The winking lights glittered prettily through a swaying canopy of birch and oak leaves. The humans liked to name the patterns in the stars – she’d seen some in an old book in Heimerdinger’s laboratory – but she decided it would be more fun to give them names of her own invention.

“You can be the Growling Badger” she said, pointing to one group of stars. “And you can be the Cheeky Changeling. Yes, that’s much better than boring names like The Warrior or The Defender. And anyway, I can’t see those ones anymore.”

Her stomach rumbled and she sat up. Hunger was still something surprising to her, even though she’d ventured beyond Bandle City more than most of her kind. A pair of spitted fish were roasting nicely over the flames and the smell of them was making her mouth water. She’d shot them in the stream to the west of her campsite with a single, exceptionally carefully-aimed bullet from her cannon. Not a bad feat of marksmanship, even if she did say so herself.

Too bad no-one was around to see it! She leaned over and patted the polished drakewood stock of her exquisitely crafted cannon; a weapon any sensible observer would say was far too large for someone of her diminutive stature to even carry, let alone shoot.

“Let Teemo have his cute little blowpipes, eh, Boomer?” she told the cannon. “I’ll stick to something with a bit more oomph, thank you very much.”

The fire crackled in a ring of stones, burning with cerulean flames, thanks to the pinch of her custom powder she’d sprinkled on the kindling to get it started. She knew now just how little she needed to use after her first time in the Upplands had cost her a perfectly decent pair of eyebrows. Sometimes it was hard to remember that things were so different in the human world compared to back home.

Deciding the fish were ready, she slid one from the spit onto a wooden plate she removed from her pack. She unwrapped a golden knife and fork from a rolled dreamleaf and cut the fish into slices. She might be on a mission, but that didn’t mean she had to eat like a savage. She took a mouthful of fish and rolled it around her mouth, savoring the taste and licking her lips in satisfaction. Mortal food was usually bland and tasteless compared to the smorgasbord of flavors she was used to, but the fish in this part of the world – Ionia, she’d heard it was called – wasn’t half bad. Perhaps it was the magic saturating every element of this landscape that made them extra tasty.

Tristana heard the crack of a twig. One of many she’d laid in a circle around her camp. The sound and type of twig told her exactly how far away the humans were and from which direction they were approaching.

She cleared her throat and called out “I have another fish if you’re hungry.”

A man and a woman emerged from the forest in front of her. Both were tall and lean, with fidgeting hands and cold eyes. They didn’t look friendly, but she was still learning how to read human expressions and she’d been taught to always be polite. Human languages were so unsophisticated that she often wondered how they managed to communicate at all.

The man took a step forward and said “Many thanks, old one, but we are not hungry.”

“Old one?” said Tristana with a playfully indignant grin. “I’m a young slip of a girl!” The man blinked and she saw what might have been a look of puzzlement cross his face.

“The old crone’s insane” said the woman, looking sidelong at her, as if not quite sure what to make of what she was seeing. Whatever it was, it certainly wasn’t her true form…

“You’re sure you don’t want a bit of fish?” asked Tristana, taking another bite. “It’s really tasty.”

“We’re sure” confirmed the man. “But we’ll take any coin you’re carrying. As well as that gun of yours. I suspect it will fetch a pretty penny at auction.”

“You want to steal my Boomer?” said Tristana, sensing movement to either side. “You know, I just don’t see that happening.”

“No? You’re alone and there’s two of us” said the man. “And we’re bigger than you.”

“Size isn’t everything” said Tristana. “And there’s four of you. Why don’t you ask your two bandit friends to come out? Maybe they’re hungry?”

The woman shook her head. “He told you, we’re alone.”

“Oh, come on” said Tristana. “What sort of commando do you think I’d be if I didn’t know you had two friends in the bushes with arrows aimed at me right now? You came in from the north and split up a hundred yards out. There’s a fat man to my left and a man with a limp to my right.”

“Good ears for one so old” said the man.

“I told you, I’m not old” said Tristana. “I’m actually pretty young for a Yordle.”

The man’s mouth dropped open in surprise as something of her true nature became apparent to him. Finally! An expression she had no trouble in reading.

Tristana ducked and rolled to the side as a pair of black-fletched arrows slashed from the undergrowth. They passed harmlessly overhead as she swept up Boomer and chambered a round. She fired into the bushes to her right and was rewarded with a cry of pain.

“Blast off!” she cried, vaulting toward the nearest tree and bounding higher. Tristana landed on a branch halfway up its trunk. Another arrow flashed toward her, thudding into the bark a handspan from her head.

“Hey, you’re pretty fast for a human” she said, racking Boomer’s crank and priming the barrel with a bunch of shells. She sprang away to another branch as the archer rose from the bushes – the fat one, which almost made it too easy. Tristana somersaulted from tree to tree and fired twice more. Both shots caught the man in his meaty thighs, and he fell back with a wail, loosing his arrow high into the air.

“Oh, don’t be such a baby” she laughed. “I barely grazed you!”

Tristana landed by her fire as the two humans she’d first seen rushed her with drawn swords. They were likely fast by human standards, but to her they moved like lumbering giants.

“Time for some up and over!” shouted Tristana, unloading the rest of Boomer’s barrel in one almighty blast into the ground. She gave a wild, whooping yell as she sailed over their heads. Even as she arced through the air she was reloading. She pushed off from the trunk of a tree and spun back to the ground.

She landed right behind the bandits with a giggle.

“Boom! Boom!”

Tristana fired two blasts, and both humans cried out in pain as they each took a wound to the rump. The woman fell flat on her face, beating her britches as powder burn set them alight. She managed to pick herself up and flee into the bushes with her backside on fire. The man twisted as he dropped to the ground, scrambling away as she cranked Boomer’s loading arm.

He was making hand gestures he probably thought were some form of magical protection.

“You’re no old woman” he said.

“I kept telling you that” said Tristana.

The man opened his mouth to answer, but before he could speak the arrow loosed from the fat man’s bow finally came back down to earth. It thudded into the man’s chest and he fell back with a look of intense annoyance.

The other bandits were dragging themselves away as fast as their wounded limbs would carry them. She let them go, grinning as she gathered up her things before stamping down the fire.

“I was just trying to eat my dinner and have a quiet night” she said to herself. “But I guess four bandits who won’t trouble anyone again soon isn’t bad going!”

Tristana slung Boomer over her shoulder and set off once more, whistling a jaunty tune as she looked for more stars to name.
