Tristana vs Ezreal

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on Tristana's level 2 all-in and wave crash to pressure Ezreal's safe farming.
Tristana wins short burst trades and turret pressure; Ezreal prefers poke and safe scaling.
Use wave states that let (E) stack fully and force Ezreal to last-hit outside minion cover.

Trading pattern

Hit Ezreal during last-hit animations when (E) is stacked and support can trade back.
Back off if enemy support controls brush or threat zone to avoid losing HP for one auto.
Use (W) only with support follow-up or confident reset to avoid overcommitment and punish.

Danger windows

(E) available to dodge (W) engage or escape resets; avoid jumping without support.
Avoid stepping up when enemy support can immediately follow or zone, enabling Ezreal poke.
Large enemy waves increase minion damage risk on (W) jumps, making all-ins unsafe.

Early game

Push first two waves to hit level 2 before Ezreal and threaten (W) all-in with support follow-up.
Punish Ezreal stepping up for caster minion last hits if enemy support cannot zone.
Avoid jumping into large enemy waves to prevent minion damage and support peel punishing (W) commits.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) + (E) burst all-in, forcing Ezreal to respect or lose lane control.
First completed marksman item lets (E) turret pressure convert winning trades into plates.
Late-game scaling enhances Tristana's range and reset potential, outpacing Ezreal's poke.

Win conditions

Convert level 2 all-ins and wave crashes into turret plates and force Ezreal recalls.
Use reset fights to snowball mid-game objectives and maintain lane priority.
Deny Ezreal free farm by punishing last-hit attempts outside minion cover and support zone.
