| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Heimerdinger | Level 1 favours you because Tristana's short start range keeps her off the wave your turrets own. |
| Level 2 | Heimerdinger | Level 2 favours you as your turret wall out-trades her the moment she steps up to CS. |
| Level 3 | Heimerdinger | Level 3 favours you since W-E plus turrets punish her only gap-closer, Rocket Jump. |
| Levels 4-5 | Heimerdinger | Levels 4-5 favour you because E-slow strands her in your zone after she jumps. |
| Level 6 | Heimerdinger | Level 6 favours you as UPGRADE!!! burst plus CC kills her before R Buster Shot saves her. |
| First item | Heimerdinger | First item favours you since your turret DPS spike beats her E-Charge detonation window. |
| Two+ items | Heimerdinger | 2+ items favours you because a turret choke and E-slow shut down her jump-in even with late range. |
Levels 1-2 her short 525 range keeps her out of the wave while your turret wall farms freely and Hextech Affinity sustains you. Zone her hard before she can set up E-Charge stacks.
