So I've been trying out this new kit. While I personally don't like how Riot axed some of her lategame (her Draw A Bead passive and natural attack speed growth) for a stronger midgame, it does give some sort of "high-risk, high-reward" type of feel with her interaction with W and E. That being said, her kit is much harder to play than before because instead of being focused on auto-attacks, her kit is more focused on hising her E. And I find her E to be very useful for taking down turret like a long-ranged carry is supposed to do.

After playing a few games, this is the item build I feel it's best for Tristana:

Rush  (and try to grab a or  first if possible, depending on the situation).

Grab either or  as your second item (then get the other one I've mentioned as your third)

Upgrade your B.F. Sword to an (or  if your enemy team built a ), or grab  as your next item.

If done correctly, your completed build should be, , , , and (and obviously, . However, if you are fed and farmed enough, replace the boots with ).

Now, here's an explanation on my build. Because Tristana's kit is now more focused on her E, this makes her a destructive sieger and bomb detonator of her E. In fact, with, 's active, , and , I was able chunk down half the turret's health within 4-6 seconds (and yes, and  have an extremely good synergy). is mostly built not only for it's passive, but the item's active as well (if you want to go for that crazy "high-risk, high-reward" playstyle, then go ahead). 's armor penetration shred passive synergizes with her E because by the time you land four autos to detonate her E, your target will already have four stacks of the, hence her E explosion will deal more damage. Although for maximum effect, try landing a basic attack, then E, then load at your target.

Now, some may wonder why I have in my build. Well, it's more related to the CDR for E. At max ranks, the CDR for E is at 12 seconds. Combine the CDR, , with  and one CDR scaling Quintessence (yes, it must be a scaling Quintessence), you get 40% CDR with 7.2 CD on your E.  Hence, this is why Trinity Force is actually a good item to replace your boots. You can run any ADC runes and masteries you want, but as long as you have one CDR scaling Quintessence and, you should be fine. Now if you don't want to use the or the CDR scaling Quintessence, you can build your B.F. sword into the  instead to max the CDR. However, I prefer if the B.F. sword is upgraded into either Infinity Edge or Bloodthrister.

So anyways, Riot have shifted Tristana's kit from her autoattacks to her E, which serves as a useful sieging skill and sacrificed a lot of her lategame power for her midgame power. She may no longer considered to be a hypercarry like or  (which both of them have a much better lategame scaling than ), but Riot did made her kit even more difficult and give her some more mid-game power she infamously lacks in her previous kit.
