Kassadin vs Tristana

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Survive early lane pressure from Tristana's level 2 all-in and wave push.
Reach level 6 to unlock (R) mobility and short trades for burst and escapes.
Prioritize scaling into mid-game side pressure and mobile burst rather than early fights.

Trading pattern

Use (Q) shield to absorb Tristana's physical poke and trade minimally pre-6.
After level 6, engage short trades using (R) only when mana and escape are assured.
Punish Tristana's committed (W) jumps without reset by counterattacking or wave pressure.

Danger windows

Respect Tristana's level 2 all-in with support follow-up; avoid extended trades before this.
Avoid chasing or trading when (W) jump and reset are available.
Do not overextend into waves when Tristana can stack (E) for burst and turret pressure.

Early game

Farm safely near tower to avoid Tristana's early jump and support follow-up.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 to minimize risk from her burst and resets.
Track enemy support presence to anticipate and avoid level 2 all-in attempts.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) for Kassadin, enabling burst trades and escapes; use this window wisely.
First completed AP item increases Kassadin's threat; pressure waves and trades more confidently.
Level 11 strengthens (R) uptime and damage; contest space more but track cooldowns carefully.

Win conditions

Survive early lane to reach level 6 and unlock (R) for mobility and burst trades.
Use (R) to flank or escape after short trades, punishing Tristana's overextensions.
Scale into mid-game side-lane pressure and item spikes to leverage Kassadin's mobility and burst.
