Playing against Tristana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Tristana is very strong at level 2 (W all-in + E bomb): respect her level 2 power spike.

2

Her W can be interrupted by CC during the dash — a stun or knockup mid-air stops her.

3

If she places the bomb (E) on you, move away from your allies: the bomb deals AoE damage on detonation.

4

In mid game, she's relatively weak before she scales in range — force fights in this window.
