Tristana vs Lux

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use level 2 all-in windows to punish Lux's lack of early mobility and skillshot reliance.
Crash waves intentionally to threaten turret plates with stacked (E) after winning trades.
Avoid passive wave push that exposes you to Lux's poke and root setup.

Trading pattern

Engage trades by stacking (E) and jumping only with support CC ready to lock Lux down.
Punish missed (Q) roots by stepping forward aggressively before Lux can reposition.
Avoid jumping into large minion waves to prevent being punished by minion aggro and Lux's poke.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) root range before stepping forward to avoid being locked down.
Avoid committing jumps when (W) shield or (R) ultimate are available to negate burst.
Be cautious when passive wave push leaves you overextended without vision or support nearby.

Early game

Push for level 2 with support follow-up to force all-ins before (Q) is ready.
Thin waves early to reduce minion damage risk when jumping with (W).
Reset after winning trades to convert kills or forced recalls into turret damage with (E).

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W) and (E) burst, enabling sudden all-ins and turret pressure; force fights then.
First completed marksman item strengthens burst and turret damage; convert kills into plates.
Late-game range and reset potential allow extended fights and safe repositioning after all-ins.

Win conditions

Snowball by forcing level 2 or 3 all-ins with support follow-up to secure kills or summoner spells.
Use wave crashes to pressure mid turret plates and open map pressure for roams or objectives.
Leverage resets from kills to reposition aggressively or escape after all-ins, maintaining lane dominance.
