Tristana into Oriannamedium

Overview

Use early level 2 all-ins with support follow-up to punish Orianna's immobility and lack of disengage.
Convert wave crashes into turret plate damage by stacking after winning trades or recalls.
Avoid passive wave pushes that expose you to Orianna's ball control and poke.

Engage trades by stacking burst when Orianna's shield is down or ball is poorly positioned.
Jump only with support CC ready and when Orianna's disengage cooldowns are spent.
Punish Orianna immediately if she uses recklessly or mispositions her ball.

Respect Orianna's level 6 displacement; avoid committing without vision or support.
Avoid jumping forward into large minion waves where Orianna's poke and shield punish overcommit.
Beware of Orianna's ball position controlling your threat zone and limiting safe engage angles.

Level 2 unlocks jump and burst, enabling strong all-ins with support follow-up.
First completed marksman item boosts burst and turret pressure, increasing kill and plate-taking potential.
Late-game range and reset potential allow extended fights and snowballing through resets.

Force early all-ins around level 2 and 3 to snowball lane priority and turret plates.
Use wave crashes post-recall or kill to stack and pressure Orianna under turret.
Leverage resets from kills to roam or secure mid-game objectives with your team.
