Ryze into Tristanamedium

Overview

Prioritize stable farming and mana management to reach your first mana/AP item safely.
Avoid extended trades since Tristana outranges you and can punish your step forward.
Use waveclear to maintain a controlled lane and create safe windows for spell rotations.

Trade short bursts using to mark and to follow up, holding for root to punish commits.
Only extend trades if you have full mana to cycle spells and space to avoid her poke.
Punish cooldown by stepping up to root and burst when she cannot jump in.

Tristana's level 2 all-in is deadly; avoid extended trades before you have ready.
Her jump plus support follow-up creates kill pressure; respect this window by holding back.
If Tristana uses aggressively without reset, punish immediately with root and spell rotations.

Focus on last-hitting under turret to avoid Tristana's early all-in with support.
Avoid stepping up to cast or without vision of enemy jungler or support.
Respect Tristana's level 2 jump and burst window; back off if she hits it first.

First mana/AP item significantly boosts your damage and mana pool; pressure waves confidently after.
Level 6 unlocks map plays; use it to create picks or reset safely rather than forcing fights.
Post-item spike lets you punish Tristana's passive push by crashing waves and threatening roams.

Scale through reliable CS and use waveclear to deny Tristana turret plates post-recall.
Convert wave control into mid-game map pressure using for side lane plays or roams.
Use root to lock down Tristana when she overextends after jumping without support follow-up.
