100% Crit Tristana Build that could help her?

TheTarians·Oct 27, 2016·2 votes·1,261 views

The title is a bit clickbait, since I'm not sure if this build would help Tristana out that much, but essentially I've been doing a build for Trist in my past 10 or 15 games with her.

I think it's been working pretty well with getting the 100% crit to deal a shit load of damage. I usually get Runaans into IE, finish boots, RFC, ER, then the last of the three items. Being the Gold 5 scrub that I am, I'm not really sure what the best build order would be... or if this build would even help Trist out that much. So that's why I wanted to ask higher elo ADC mains, or at least people that have a good idea of Tristana. Would this help her, or does she need a buff to her kit to get back in meta?

you dont need zerk greaves.

move speed bonuses and redundant but more powerful stats from runaans and rapidfire alone are sufficient, allowing you a slot for one of those armor pen items.

I checked the winrates on OP.GG for the best Tristana items so I could play ADC again. This is pretty much it.

Runaan's first for attack speed steroid. Infinity Edge for damage spike. Rapid Firecannon for even more attack speed and range. I usually settle for 70% crit at this point, but you can get Essence Reaver to top it all off assuming you don't need to buy any situationals (Lord Dominik's Regards for a bastion of tanks, Executioner's Calling for a hospital heal/sustain champions, Mercurial scimitar for a prison of CC heavy champs, etc.) And, yeah, the Bloodthirster is a good item for any ADC's sustain.

Now, about the boots. Buying Berzerker's Greaves, Ninja Tabi, Sorcerer's Shoes, etc. Is usually a bad idea. What you should do is get either Boots of Swiftness or Ionian Boots of Lucidity because they're cheaper so you can put the essentials aside and crack down on the important parts of your build. When you complete the rest of your build and chug an elixir, then you should sell your cheaper shoes for the better ones. This doesn't only apply to ADCs, I do this strategy on tanks as well (but often with Ionian Boots of Lucidity rather than Boots of Swiftness, and I obviously don't build Berzerker's Greaves on tanks).

Going lucidity boots could help, since then once you get ER, you would be at 40% CDR. The only real reason why I questioned having BT, is because I usually take Warlord's bloodlust.

This is true. Now naturally, I might grab Boots of Swiftness for Trist since the enemy support probably has a slow and I don't usually build CDR on ADCs, but I guess if you're going to build Essence Reaver early, you might as well.

It would make you have a CD of 9.6 on Q, 8.4 on W, 8.4 on E and 42 on R, all at max rank of course.

That's actually pretty good, but I suspect you may have miscalculated because 40% off 20+ seconds couldn't be 8.4.

TheTariansOct 27, 20161 votes

W'CD is 16 seconds at rank five... or at least that's what I saw on the wiki.

Okay, that works.
