At a glance

Your lane DPS is her scaling tax — tap the duo, bounce the cover, and channel the 2v2 she can't unsubscribe from.

Track: Tristana's W — Rocket Jump (22–14s cooldown). Her engage AND escape in one button — once spent she is the lane’s most catchable carry.

Do

  • Tap-swap targets every trade
  • Q-bounce her low-minion cover
  • R off any support CC window

Don't

  • Channel R into open peel
  • Coast at even farm — the tax expires
  • Trade at her item court dates

How to beat Tristana as Miss Fortune: the early game

Level 1 is yours because you out-damage a low-level Tristana in a straight trade before she has Rocket Jump to threaten a reset. Before her jump is levelled she has no answer to a bounce, so contest every last-hit and keep Love Tap firing. Save Make It Rain for the landing rather than the take-off. Take the plate on the crash and hold the wave short so her tower is never the safe place for the jump out.
