A scaling duel where your curve has no cap — chip the souls, root the all-ins, and out-infinite the finite.

Read from Senna's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Tristana.
This is Senna's own plan; across 20,844 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Senna | Level 1 your Q outranges immobile early Tristana for free poke. |
| Level 2 | Senna | Level 2 she still has no jump, so you keep harassing her off CS. |
| Level 3 | Senna | Level 3 your range and soul stacking hold a clear lead over her short reach. |
| Levels 4-5 | Senna | Levels 4-5 you keep poking while she waits for her level-6 spike. |
| Level 6 | Tristana | Level 6 Rocket Jump plus Buster Shot and Explosive Charge give her a lethal all-in. |
| First item | Tristana | At first item her reset burst combo keeps the kill threat firmly on her side. |
| Two+ items | Senna | With two-plus items your range and R let you punish her jump and reclaim the duel. |
Levels 1-2 you win comfortably: Tristana is short-ranged and has no mobility yet, so your Q poke and superior range let you harass her off CS and build souls with impunity. She has no mobility yet and no way to answer your reach, so poke her off every last-hit and collect the souls that follow. Root her when she steps up rather than after she jumps. Piercing Darkness keeps you healthy through her bomb, and the range you build makes her jump even worse later.
