Exhaust Teleport? lol...

That skill sequence... what the..?

Finally, bad build. Black Cleaver is not a good item to get first unless you are Corki or Kayle.

Wow? Max Rocket Jump last? No Flash? Teleport? wtf...

I think this build is suboptimal compared to the other Trist guides out there, honestly.

Your runes are fine, though hp/level could probably be better replaced by some armor.

I don't understand your skill sequence at all, and you don't really explain it. Why rocket jump at level 1? If your team is setting up a gank at the beginning, it kind of makes sense. The extra damage and slow would come in handy, and the exp boost from the kill gets you to 2 that much quicker. But otherwise, it's absolutely useless as a level 1 skill. You can't harass with it, only commit, and you're not likely to grab any kills at level 1 without Ignite. Your first skill should be explosive shot for its harassment ability. Then, after you take rocket jump at level 1, you don't touch it again until 8! The damage increases alone make it worth maxing as fast as you can, AND it decreases the cooldown by up the 8 seconds. That's HUGE for a squishy champ like Trist.

The item build is completely out of whack. After one or two Doran's, you need to get your boots. This is basic champ building 101. The more time it takes you to get back into lane, the less time you have to farm/harass/get in a gank and the less gold you have to complete your build. Second, BECAUSE you need to get your boots right away, AND you need stats, you're going to want level 2 movement boots with some sort of bonus attached. Some people swear by Merc treads, while I tend to go Beserkers. Either way, it gives you a needed boost in both speed and another area instead of grabbing what should be a mid-to-end game item in the laning phase.

To make things worse in your items, the most critical (no pun intended) item in an AD crit carry's arsenal, the Infinity Edge, doesn't come into your build until AFTER two fairly expensive midgame items. IE should be Tristana's FIRST item after boots. There is NO situation in the game where this is not the case. The attack damage, crit chance, and critical strike damage complement her Q perfectly. It's her bread and butter. After that, THEN you can go for a BC, though I prefer the Phantom Dancer for the perfect combo of move and attack speed mixed with crit chance.

For masteries, I'd say take out the 3% lifesteal as it's not worth three masters points, take everything out of the utility tree, and invest in some armor, magic resist, and health from the defense tree instead. This complements the survivability runes you took well.

Regarding abilities, I think exhaust is perfectly legit for Trist, though I find that ignite combined with an explosive shot and jump can really lay down the hurt and get you some early kills for that extra gold and farming time.

Overall, I think you really need to consider an overhaul of the guide.

@ Enalung, Before you down vote a glass cannon build, think of how the champion is played. Tristana played as an AD carry should be built for glass cannon, since she needs to bring damage to the team fights. Her abilities should give her the edge in getting away if the team fight goes sour. All you would have to do to flesh this out as an acceptable (and possibly devastating build) is purchase your items in a different order. With that I think Leya should go into more detail about which items to purchase and when to purchase them.

I feel that theses builds make you too much of a glass canon. One should always position himself in order to avoid getting caught out of position, but sometime you will be blindsided. With this build, chances are that you will not survive such an encounter.

I'll also note that you plan for about 15K. On average, when I farm well, the game is usualy over by the time I get around 10K. More then that and the game has been dragging on.

+1(:

I like the second build. Kind of a long road, but once you get the lifesteal you are virtually unstoppable.

Good build great description +1

good job with the build~! I also agree that Doran's Blade is the best starting item for Tristana because of the 100 hp it gives. Also, i don't recommend the snowball item on Tristana because she is rather squishy. Also, since her dmg isn't fully developed in the beginning, she won't be able to finish enemies as quickly which means enemies can kill her.

For anivia, i find that her damage combo at beginning (Before level 6), is Q-E. When You become aggresive and rocket shot next to her, it will be harder for her to hit you with q, which means E won't be as effective. That's how i deal with Anivia :)

I agree with you in summoner spell :D Teleport is a very good way to kill those enemy minion waves that stacked up, resulting in lots of gold, or backdooring.

For skill sequence, i like to take E first, because i can get gold easier when minions explode :). And i don't get Q until level 6 because it just wastes mana, but that's just my preference.

But overall, a +1 from me. Good Job~

but the reason i start with dorans blade is tht tristana is squishy early game ! so u cant depend on 1 pot ! its better if u start with blade cuz u got the life steal health and damage and dorans blade gives exact same attack damage as long sword

Thank you, talal. : )
Yes Doran's blade is also good, but it dependet on playstyle. I'm playing passive early game and in later game xD nobody have this item. But I will write something about other choices to start a game.
