Tristana vs Twitch

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Tristana wins short trades by forcing level 2 all-ins with support follow-up to punish Twitch's weak early game.
Use passive push to crash waves and pressure turret plates, denying Twitch safe farm and forcing recalls.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto-attack Twitch during his last-hit animations only if enemy support is out of engage range.
Use (E) burst stacked on Twitch when he is isolated from support to convert trades into kills or forced recalls.
Back off immediately if (Q) stealth or enemy support control brush and threaten counter-engage.

Danger windows

(Q) stealth engage with support follow-up creates lethal all-in windows; avoid stepping forward when unseen.
When Twitch has stacked poison and (E) ready, avoid extended trades or standing near minion waves.
Enemy support controlling brush or river zone denies safe jump (W) all-ins; do not force trades without follow-up.

Early game

Push first three waves to hit level 2 before Twitch and threaten jump (W) all-ins with support ready.
Punish Twitch stepping up for caster minion last hits if enemy support cannot immediately trade back.
Avoid jumping into large enemy minion waves to prevent minion damage and support peel from turning trades against you.

Power spikes

Level 2 spike: (W) jump plus (E) burst enable sudden all-ins that Twitch cannot contest early.
First completed marksman item: increases all-in burst and turret pressure, allowing plate-taking after winning trades.
Late game: Tristana's scaling and reset potential outpace Twitch's stealth DPS if positioned aggressively.

Win conditions

Convert level 2 all-in wins into turret plate damage by crashing waves and stacking (E) on turret.
Use reset potential from kills or assists to maintain lane pressure and force Twitch off farm.
Control dragon vision after winning lane to leverage Tristana's item spikes and teamfight DPS role against Twitch's stealth threats.
