Zeri vs Tristana

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

This lane turns on wave state and support cooldowns for last-hit punish windows.
Zeri wins extended fights around walls with (R) and (W) poke angles.
Tristana wants level 2 all-ins and turret plate pressure; deny her early burst.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (Q) poke when Tristana commits (W) without support follow-up.
Use (W) through walls to punish Tristana's predictable CS paths near turret or river.
Avoid trades when (E) is down or support can immediately counter-engage after your step forward.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping up when (W) is ready with support follow-up for all-in resets.
Respect her (E) stack completion on small waves near turret for burst and plate threat.
Beware of (R) knockback disrupting your (E) escape or extended fight positioning.

Early game

Hold wave near your tower early to reduce Tristana's jump follow-up threat.
Punish Tristana's last-hit attempts on caster minions when her (W) is down and support is passive.
Avoid pushing early waves to prevent Tristana's passive crash and turret plate access.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) enables extended kiting fights; use (R) to kite around walls and dodge resets.
First marksman item spike lets you out-trade Tristana's burst if you keep (E) for escapes.
Two-item power spike strengthens your sustained DPS in long fights; fight near terrain to maximize (W).

Win conditions

Convert health leads into wave crashes to deny Tristana turret plates and force recalls.
Use wall (W) poke and (E) mobility to safely farm toward item spikes and extended fights.
Position for dragon fights with terrain access to kite and maximize your DPS during (R) active.

Tip: For Zeri vs Tristana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast ADC lane check.
