Tristanna - How would she work best now? Ap? AD? Hybrid? On-hit?

Emmerlaus·Jan 29, 2015·1 votes·886 views

I tried her a few time this moring and figured out that because of her new abilities, her build need to be changed.

On-Hit Tristanna is my favorite so far, Because of her new E ( I buy a Doran Blade, with Lifesteal runes, to make her durable until her peak at mid-game arrive)

Her new E make her a good farmer and Turret destroyer. The Black Cleaver allow her E to do surprisingly good damage as well as giving her a bit of CD (what I think she really need)

Im not a expert playing Tristanna though. I want to hear others and what they think the new Tristanna should be played.

Haven't had a chance to try her yet, but I'll probably stick with a typical build. item 3087 item 3006 item 3031 item 3035 item 3153 item 3026 Somewhere around lvl 2 or 3 when I've bot Q and E, just pop Q, E someone, get a few autos off on them and back off to let them detonate. If they're low enough I may jump in with W and ignite to finish the job.

AP trist, now that's going to be a whole new ballgame.

I think Trist can pull off item 3046 over item 3087 now due to her new E being so effective for wave clearing now, and the extra Crit and ability to move through units would help a lot.

Wave clear, heck try tower pushing! Maxing E first then popping Q any time you're on a tower, see it get chunked.

AP Tristana has a very lack-luster feel. The E explosion, while fantastic for AD trist, is very weak when you don't itemize the penetration on AP. The only redeeming factor to playing AP is the ultimate, with 100% scaling. Otherwise, it's a very difficult play style and it feels very often as if you don't do any damage. Just my personal opinions on it. AD Trist is like any other ADC build, but she has immense turret destruction power. I love her new AD feel, not a fan of AP.

Definitely AD. AP Tristana isn't necessary bad, it just falls off. But honestly, I think her ult would be the only useful ability if you built her AP now. I just don't see her E doing as much as it used to. I'll probably stick with item 3250 item 3031 item 3046 item 3072 item 3035 item 3102 or item 3139 for now.

No real reason to change her build at this time:

Core: ( item 3252 or item 3250 ), item 3031 , item 3046 , item 3153

If Tank: item 3035

Defensive (Choose One if there's a tank; two if no tank--but pick at least one BF Sword Item if then) item 3139 , item 3102 , item 3026 , item 3072 , item 3022
