Which Support Is Best Against Tristana?
The main supports that counter Tristana are Morgana, Lux, and Thresh. These Champions have interruptions. A good option is Thresh who has two interrupts. Morgana + Zhonya’s Hourglass is also a good counter. But, if you really want to counter Tristana, then Bliztcrank is the best support counter. Land your pulls and knock-ups to stop Tristana from escaping with her jumps and knockback.
Things To Consider When Playing Against Tristana
- Avoid standing near low health creeps to not take additional damage from Tristana’s Explosive shots.
- You can interrupt Tristana’s jump with knock-ups and displacements (e.g. Blitz’s Powerfist or Rocket Grab).
- To deny Tristana farm, push the lane to her tower. Tristana has trouble with farming under the turret, because of Explosive Shot’s passive effect.
- Try to bait her to use her Rapid fire and then back off. It has a long cooldown so wasting it will give you an advantage.
- Avoid fighting Tristana after she places her Explosive Shot on you. Each successive auto will cause you to take more damage.
