W (Rocket Jump) resets on kills and E (bomb) stack detonations — in fights, E then 4 autos then explosion then W reset.
E (Explosive Charge) stacks with autos — stick the bomb on the enemy then 4 quick autos for maximum burst.
Tristana's range increases with levels — in late game, you have one of the longest ranges in the game (661 at level 18).
R (Buster Shot) knocks the enemy far away — use it to peel (push away an assassin) or to finish (combo with E).

Playing against Tristana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Tristana is very strong at level 2 (W all-in + E bomb): respect her level 2 power spike.
Her W can be interrupted by CC during the dash — a stun or knockup mid-air stops her.
If she places the bomb (E) on you, move away from your allies: the bomb deals AoE damage on detonation.
In mid game, she's relatively weak before she scales in range — force fights in this window.
