Build Guide by Arekno

I would take a point out of Alacrity and throw it into the magic pen. I would sacrifice 1% attack speed for 15% magic pen ANY DAY even if i only have 1 spell damage ability. It will help you with your W E R abilities. Also, I would take another point out of Alacrity, and stick it in Brute force, it wont make much of a difference, its just a matter of preference.

You also have 7 items:
1. Boots
2. Malady
3. Phantom
4. Black Cleaver
5. Infinity
6. Frozen Mallet
7. Phantom

Also, for your abilities, I think you should put more points into Rapid Fire earlier on. 30/45/60/75/90 bonus AS for 7 seconds is pretty sweet.

Good start.

Hey Rooke, there is some faults in the mastery build, but its fixed now, also my build is not completely finished as Im adding an item explanation later on.
Thx for the heads up though.

I have just a couple of questions.

1st. How do you manage mana? Tristana has high mana costs and a low base mana pool, so you must run out quite quickly

2nd. Why choose Malady? The lifesteal is ok, but it adds only attack speed besides that, since realistically you wont be hitting someone more than 4-5 times

OverzealousAxe:
As I write in the playthrough part, I usually buy a few mana pots the first time I port home. And after you get to lvl 10, maybe 12, all I do is run around ganking and I usually grab Golem buff when nothing is going on. So I never feel like Im out of mana.

Malady is a really nice boost in the start of the game, lifesteal and AS is always nice, and the debuff quickly adds up to alot of damaga. This combination often get me alot of kill:
Rocket jump in, rapid fire, explosive shot, exhaust=realistically, alot more hits than 4-5.

If you have anymore, feel free to ask.

Hi there ! Pretty nice build ! But I have a question : with rapid fire, malady, phantom and Berserker's greaves you get 210% more attack speed. Is it too much ? I mean do you really need 210% AS ?
I think you can get somting else than malady to get lifesteal. Executionner blade could be nice, it reduce healing and doesn't cost a lot. Or even Blood thirster might be a good choice.
I'm learning how to play tristana now. It's why i'm looking for builds. But what I noticied with this char is that your not always able to get buffs(warwick on other team). How do you manage your mana in these cases ?
Next time i'll play i'll try that : start with brawler glove and some hp pot and try get cash to buy boots, zeal, vampiric scepter and if i have money, phage.
What do you think ?

At the time I get my malady, phantom and berserkers I usually try to run around and gank people and the attack speed really helps out. Not only does your target go down fast, but you are able to sustain your hp with the lifesteal. I often grab my sides lizard buff which then gives me no worries of my target fleing.
Your are right that you can get other means for lifesteal, but malady is fairly cheap and pays of really fast.
I know that its not always easy getting neutral buffs such as golem or even lizard, but if you know the spawn times and/or check regularly, you are bound to get them. If not, mana pots sure help out.

I would never start out with brawlers gloves, simply because they dont add enough at the start of the game. You dont have the attack speed to benefit from the +crit, and you main job early game is to last hit minions. Other than that it sounds like a good plan.

I was wondering why you choose Explosive Shot over Rapid fire, I seem to benefit more by getting rapid fire early game.

rapid fire early game makes no sense!

I tried this build and for me it works really well.
I just had a game where i got heavily fed so i had all the items exept that i changed Malady for The Blood Thirster and i ended up running around critting 1076 without buffs :D
im just lvl 10 atm so it would have hurt alot more if id had the Masteries >:D

I tend to use same build but i make mallet 1st but i suck at this champ srsly XD nice me like :)
