| Level 3 | Tristana | At level 3 stacked E detonation out-bursts your immobile trades. |

Even at levels 1-2 Tristana's jump threat forces you to play passively; hold max range, shield early, and last-hit carefully because any step forward invites a Rocket Jump all-in you can't escape. Hold maximum range and shield early, because any step forward invites the jump. Build notes off the wave rather than off her. Keep Beat Drop for the landing rather than the take-off, and take the plate on the crash instead of contesting a lane where her all-in is the only real threat.
