Read from Tristana's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Senna.
This is Tristana's own plan; across 20,844 pooled games the lane is even.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Tristana | You win level 1 — Senna's low base attack speed and soul reliance let your auto pressure control the wave. |
| Level 2 | Tristana | At level 2 your Rapid Fire threat keeps out-tempoing her weak early stats. |
| Level 3 | Tristana | Level 3 is yours as W plus E burst dives an immobile, still-scaling Senna. |
| Levels 4-5 | Tristana | Through 4-5 your reset-threat all-ins punish her lack of mobility every trade. |
| Level 6 | Tristana | At 6 Buster Shot breaks her position and her global ult offers no self-peel against your all-in. |
| First item | Tristana | Your first-item spike lands while she's still farming souls, keeping her behind. |
| Two+ items | Tristana | With 2+ items your steroid and burst let you flank and delete an immobile Senna, keeping the late game yours if you denied her scaling. |
Levels 1-2 are yours — Senna has low base attack speed and leans on her passive soul stacking, so contest the wave and poke her with autos while she farms. Keep the pressure on and don't let her collect souls for free; your Rapid Fire threat controls the early tempo. Her attack speed is low and she wants to farm souls rather than fight, so contest the wave and stack the bomb whenever she steps forward. Keep the jump for her root. Take the plate on the crash and deny the souls, because her scaling rather than her poke is the real threat.
