Ahri vs Tristana

Confidence highUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use (Q) and (W) to poke and force Tristana to farm under pressure early.
Hold (E) for windows when Tristana commits forward or wastes (W) jump.
Prioritize wave states that enable safe roams or river control after level 6.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) return damage and (W) procs; disengage before minion aggro stacks.
Punish (W) jump cooldown by landing (E) when she overextends.
Avoid using (E) without a clear follow-up or when minions block it.

Danger windows

Respect Tristana's level 2 all-in potential with support follow-up; avoid overextending pre-6.
Avoid extended trades if (R) is down as escape and pick potential decrease.
Punish missed (E) as it removes your strongest peel and pick threat.

Early game

Contest early levels to avoid letting Tristana hit level 2 first with support.
Use short (Q) and (W) trades around level 3 while holding (E) for a punish.
Avoid extended trades before Lost Chapter; clear waves quickly to prevent turret plates.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for safer picks and roams; track its cooldown to engage confidently.
First completed mage item boosts waveclear and trade damage; increase pressure post-item.
Level 3 grants more flexible short trades; use it to harass but save (E) for real punish windows.

Win conditions

Land (E) to pick off Tristana when she commits or uses (W) aggressively.
Use (R) mobility to roam or reset trades, denying Tristana turret plate pressure.
Deny Tristana free farm by contesting CS windows and forcing her to farm under tower.

Tip: For Ahri vs Tristana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
