Im only lvl 6-7 and played with this build, and honestly can say. It works with how well you have the skills setup. I went 4/2/8 my 1st run, 5/1/11 my 2nd, and 5/0/6 on my 3rd...my 1st time running before seeing this build I went 1/4/6.

I also picked up some ways to attk a champ.

Pop list when attacking:
1: Rapid fire
2: Exhaust
3: Rocket Jump (jump behind them, make sure you have good distance between before buster shot)
4: Buster shot
5: Explosive shot

Not everyone will agree with this, but its just how Ive been doing it, and it works 99% of the time. Of course all skills are off CD.

as long as you bustered them the other direction to where your back is facing there base, you're pretty much gonna get the kill 99% of the time.

First time playing Tristana, used your build with these results:
Voted +1 and using this build from now on ^_^

22/1 THANK YOU for the build!

For items what people should do.
Start out with vampiric scepter and then get berserk grieves
turn vampiric scepter into a blood thirster then get an infinity edge after that buy a madreds blood razor. Once you have that feel free to build a frozen mallet for extra hp and the ability to slow people. With this item build you can basically take out most champions in 5 hits.

you can add a sword of the divine for more magic damage in conjunction of your malady will deal more damage!

Justplayed an epiclong game, 5v5, this build works, but you are very squishy. Having said that, i modified it a bit, taking a starks for team support and a sword of the divine for its active, to counter the enemy mordekaiser, who was a freaking tank with 120-150+ MR and armor if you need a bit more attack speed over ability power and it passive, replacing the malady with divine sword (60% AS vice 50, plus its active 30 armor pen) works well, and since you're likely to be near your team end game a lot, stark instead of cleaver works, though NORMALLY cleaver is better.

This is not taking runes into account, as i was only lvl 17, so i haven't bought runes yet cus i'm waitign till lvl 20, and i only had 17 mastery points to distribute. A good build all in all.

EDIT: also reading through the comments, malady can be replaced later,it's mostly for the 50% AS that you get it, plus its constat magic damage, though it's worth replacing end game. Tris is best with AS and AD, so two or more PD isn't bad, or you might sacrifice a bit of AS for AD with a trinity or a cleaver.

This guide is completly outdated and the item choices are just pretty awful.

only one problem i see, i haven't read it all, but i see seven items? that a mistake? correct if I'm wrong but like i said, i haven't read the whole guide yet

I guess the new build is suitable. I liked it.

THis guide is outdated, malady is no longer viable for her :O

Also, two phantom dancers is dumb. No offense. It's just stupid.

This build is AMAZING, hands down the best Trist build I've tried (now use every game). The only thing I swap is the Malody, and rush a Bloodthirster and leave out the Frozen Mallet. I haven't lost a game yet with this build. My last score was 28/3/8!
