- Squishy
- Weak early laning pre lvl 6 - Passive, doesn't all in - Tricky positioning - Can make a lot of missplays
As per all champions she does have her cons too. She is squishy for mid-late game, unless you build her tankier (which isn't really as effective still). This ultimately means that you need good positioning. Oh how many times I've seen a

This is my most used keystone on

I don't usually ever take this, unless I have a support that will constantly heal me, unlike, say, ![]() ![]() |

For this row, and every other one I make a game plan as you always should. If I feel like it would be good for me to build let's say, a ![]() |

This is what I always take, except in the secial mathcups mentioned below. It's just a great rune for normal mathcups and it's pretty standard on ![]() |

I only use this if there are 2+ tanks on the enemy team, and it works pretty okay, since as ![]() |

![]() INNATE: The range of Tristana's basic attacks, ![]() ![]() |
|
COST: NO COST DAMAGE: 50/65/80/95/110% AS for 7 seconds |
![]() Tristana fires her weapon rapidly, increasing her Attack Speed for a short time. Active: Increases Tristana's Attack Speed by 50/65/80/95/110% for 7 seconds. I use this for procing even more damage from E, and sieging turrets also after I E them. When I clear waves I like this for faster clear. |
|
COST: 60 RANGE/RADIUS: 900/350 DAMAGE: 85/135/185/235/285(+ 50% AP) |
![]() Tristana fires at the ground to propel her to a distant location, dealing damage and slowing surrounding units for a brief period where she lands. Kills, Assists, and max stack ![]() ![]() I use this to either go in, or go out, that's basically all. |
|
COST:50/55/60/65/70 RANGE: 550 PASSIVE DMG: 55/80/105/130/155(+25% Ability Power)MD ACTIVE DMG: 60/70/80/90/100(+50% AP)PD |
![]() When Tristana kills a unit, her cannonballs burst into shrapnel, dealing damage to surrounding enemies. Can be activated to place a bomb on a target enemy that explodes after a short duration dealing damage to surrounding units. Each attack and ability charges the bomb's damage by +30%.At 4 charges, the bomb explodes immediately. The detonation radius is twice as large if used on a turret. |
|
COST: 100 RANGE: 550 DAMAGE: 300/400/500 (+ 100% AP) |
![]() Tristana loads a massive cannonball into her weapon and fires it at an enemy unit. This deals Magic Damage and knocks the target back. If the target is carrying the Explosive Charge bomb, the bomb detonation radius is doubled. Pretty self explanatory. You need good positioning for this so keep in mind where you are in a teamfight/where you should be. |

I typically never opt for ![]() |

Since the update on ![]() |

I take this as a second item and it works amazing for me. Not gonna lie, the thing I like most is the ring around it, since it is almost the same as ![]() |

Oh god. This is my huge power spike. I can't imagine ![]() |

I take these two when I'm planning a 'lifesteal' type of game. ![]() ![]() |

If we somehow manage to get to late game I like taking a ![]() |

I take this if I know that there will be a lot of magic damage coming my way, and this blocks at least some of it, but even that little bit can be just enough to save you. |

Turrets have 1095 sight range, 775 attack range and deal physical damage. They grant their team true sight, allowing it to see all traps and stealth units within their vision range. There are four kind of turrets depending on their location: Nexus towers: Located in front of the nexus, there are two of them. Inhibitor towers: Located in front of each inhibitor, guarding the entrances to the base. Inner towers: Located in front of the inhibitor towers. Outer towers: Located in front of the inner towers. Towers can only be targeted and damaged if they are the first structure standing in their lane. Turrets located behind the first standing structure are invulnerable and untargetable until the first one is destroyed. Inner towers only become vulnerable when their outer tower is destroyed, and inhibitor towers only become vulnerable when their inner tower is destroyed. Nexus turrets are invulnerable and untargetable until one inhibitor is destroyed. If a turret is destroyed while one of its shots is in mid-flight, that shot will not deal damage. Turret shots travel at a speed of 1200. Make sure to last-hit a turret as it will grant you 400 gold which can put you at a big advantage if you spend it right. It will also be beneficial for your team as they will gain some gold too. Getting a first turret might relieve the pressure off of your teammates, but it will transfer it to you, as you will be targeted more. However do not pass an opportunity to get first turret blood, it is just too big of a bonus to miss ! |

PLATING: Outer turrets begin the game with five temporary plates. A plate is broken for each 1000 damage dealt to the turret. (Plates don't have health of their own.)
PLATE STRENGTH: Turret plating grants 40 armor and magic resist at game start PLATE BREAKING: Dealing 1000 damage to an outer turret also causes a plate to break, granting 160 gold (divided among nearby champions) and increasing the turret's armor and magic resist by 30 until turret plating falls off BULWARK For 20 seconds after a plate is destroyed, the turret also gains Bulwark, granting an additional 25 armor and magic resist for each nearby enemy champion past the first. Multiple instances of Bulwark stack if multiple plates are destroyed within a 20 second window. FALLOFF: Turret plating falls off at 14:00, causing outer turrets to lose ALL armor and magic resist and making unclaimed plating gold permanently inaccessible |

Dragons, also known as drakes, are powerful monsters that can be found in Summoner's Rift. Their camp is located in the river alcove on the lower right side of the battlefield. There are five types of dragons:
The first four types are globally known as Elemental Drakes, which, when killed, permanently grant a Dragon Slayer buff Dragon Slayer stack, granting various effect based on the dragon killed. No more than one dragon can be present at the same time in the battlefield, but several different dragons can spawn at different times throughout the game. The Elder DragonSquare Elder Dragon grants a temporary buff called Aspect of the Dragon buff Aspect of the Dragon. Elder Dragons beyond the first for the same team grant Aspect of the Dragon buff Empowered Aspect of the Dragon, which is twice as effective and lasts twice as long. All dragons are between levels 6 to 18 and all of their attacks are ranged. Try to get them when: a) Bot Lane has just died and your jungler is in range; b)enemy jungler has died and it's not warded so you can try to sneak it, taking only the support to help. |


![]() ![]() ![]() Soloing ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Killing ![]() Try to get Baron once most of the enemy team is dead or when the jungler is dead, but beware of the rest of the team trying to steal it. Watch out if it is warded. Remember to always tell your jungler to ward Baron or even go ward it yourself, and if you do not succeed at stealing it try to kill the enemy team as fast as you can so they lose the buffs. My positioning is never behind the pit, as I will take more damage. (fun loading screen fact, baron does more damage to those behind him) I have everything warded. If I am on red side I make sure to ward the blue buff, top tri-bush, top lane bush, mid lane bush and the passage between wolves and blue, and if I am on blue side, I make sure that the top tri-bush, red buff, raptor passage, mid lane bush and the middle of the enemy mid lane is warded. If I do get cought and have to escape I like to just hop over the wall. |

Dragons:Since they most likely won't take the whole team to do dragon, at most 3 people if it isn't an elder, I just focus on distracting them/ killing the jungler so they don't have smite available and have my jungler smite it. Also watch where the enemy bot laners are going in relation to where your jungler is/if he died. If he is top/dead they will most likely go help with dragons when you back, so make sure to ping it, or what I like to do, go back to lane and pretend to back if you know for sure they're on dragon and go in when they go help.
