Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You can do 'insec' trick on Tristana by using R and Flash.
  2. If you managed to stac 2 or 3 stacks of Explosive Charge on the enemy, in most cases, you can safely jump on him with W and jump out with another W (donating E resets W).
Riot
  1. Her massive gun allows Tristana to fire on targets at a great distance. Utilize this to prevent your enemies from ever laying a hand on you.
  2. Use Rocket Jump after you have stacked up your Explosive Charge on an enemy to finish them off with a burst of damage.
  3. Use Rapid Fire to help stack up your Explosive Charge on enemy champions.
