What is a good first item for Tristana?

Just working on practicing her since her rework. I'm not the best ADC, so I'm not sure what she should rush.

I've been considering either a BoRK or Bloodthirster, because I'm not sure if an Infinity rush works for her (Her base attack speed is reduced for the rework, so the early crit may not help if your Q's on cooldown), and I think Infinity Rush was nerfed anyway.

BoRK, because the extra attack speed early would make her less reliant on her Q to stack up Explosive Charge.

Bloodthirster because Riot seems to want her to be more risky and try to get resets and get damage amp on her Rocket Jump, and the shield can help with those risky plays. Not to mention her E has an attack damage scaling now, so the AD from a BF Sword item could still be helpful.

Any thoughts?

she scales with AD now on her E. you should still rush IE first, get PD and BT(not BOTRK because of the scaling ad).

With the new tristana, going IE is really good on her. Just build standard ADC: IE > berserkers > SS/PD > BT > LW > defensive item. She scales really well with flat AD now so you definitely want flat AD items to make her E deal more dmg.
