| − | The Megling Commandos are something of a legend in [[Bandle City]]. They have a history that spans centuries, and they remain the oldest yordle military unit still in service. They are renowned for their courage, deadliness, and ruthlessness, making them the most respected and feared of all warriors in Bandle City. Legends of Megling, the valiant founder of the commandos, are still heard throughout [[Valoran]] taverns. It was these legends that most fascinated a young Tristana. Since she was a wee child, Tristana wanted nothing more than to become the crack shot that her idol had been all those years ago. She trained her entire life, until finally she was old enough to join the military and able to earn her place among the Megling Commandos. The senior officers were impressed by her abilities, claiming that Tristana was a natural, and her dream was realized the day she donned her Megling fatigues. |

| − | Though her heart lies with her unit, the call to [[the League of Legends]] was irresistible and now Tristana protects Bandle City as a [[champion]]. While intense and focused as a Megling Gunner, Tristana is remarkably different in her personal life. Outside [[the Fields of Justice]], she is friendly and cheerful - the sort of yordle who always has a kind word for everyone. Tristana recently struck up a close friendship with {{ci|Teemo|Teemo, the Swift Scout}}. They are both members of Bandle City's Special Forces, so not only do they bond as yordles, but also as fellow warriors and champions... though she outright ignores any questions pertaining to a blossoming romance. |

| + | Like most yordles, Tristana was always fascinated by the world beyond Bandle City. She traveled far and wide, full of wonder and enthusiasm for the varied places, people, and creatures she encountered.

||
| − | * {{ai|Explosive Shot|Tristana}}: |
||
| − | ** Cast range now matches her attack range (including per level increases from {{ai|Draw a Bead|Tristana}}). |
||
| − | * {{ai|Rocket Jump|Tristana}}: |
||
| − | ** Fixed: Rocket Jump is now more reliable when used around terrain. |
||
| − | * {{ai|Buster Shot|Tristana}}: |
||
| − | ** Mana cost reduced to 100 from 140. |
||
| + | She witnessed such breathtaking sights as ice trolls migrating across the floes of the far north beneath kaleidoscopic auroras. She marveled as warships blasted each other to pieces in naval battles that churned the seas. She watched, awestruck, as great armies marched with unity and precision—incredibly strange concepts to a yordle!—across the endless sands to the south. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.143]]:''' |
||
| − | * {{ai|Explosive Shot|Tristana}}: |
||
| − | ** Passive damage no longer activates from spell damage. |
||
| − | ** Tooltip now reflects the ability power ratio. |
||
| + | But Tristana’s carefree, wandering ways changed the day she witnessed the destruction of a bandlewood. These places are steeped in the magic of the gateways they grow around, giving yordles a safe haven from the world. Tristana, dozing in the dappled sunshine, was shaken awake as the trees around her began to burn and topple. A warband of armored marauders rampaged through the woodland with fire and axes, led by a sorcerer wreathed in dark energy. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.141]]:''' |
||
| − | * Fixed a bug where {{ai|Explosive Shot|Tristana|Explosive Shot's}} passive was not working correctly with {{ii|Madred's Razors}} and {{ii|Wriggle's Lantern}}. |
||
| + | Tristana hid in horror. The sorcerer focused his power upon the portal at the heart of the bandlewood, speaking one final utterance. Her ears still ringing with pain, Tristana watched the gateway collapse, never to be opened again. The ripples of that destruction were felt in Bandle City itself, causing great despair among the yordles. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.138]]:''' |
||
| − | * Tristana will now attempt to immediately attack champions targeted by {{ai|Explosive Shot|Tristana}} or {{ai|Buster Shot|Tristana}}. |
||
| + | Tristana had never experienced anything like the pain of this loss, or the guilt she felt for not acting. Never again would she allow such a terrible thing to happen. In that moment, she dedicated herself to become the guardian of all bandlewoods, and her fellow yordles. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.135]]:''' |
||
| − | * {{ai|Explosive Shot|Tristana}} cast range increased to 625 from 600. |
||
| + | Tristana had often marveled at how mortals protected the things that were dear to them. While she couldn’t comprehend their reasons to guard shiny metals, or walls of stone, she respected their methods, and decided to emulate them. Other yordles watched with curiosity as she took to marching around the borders of Bandle City stern-faced, and watching out for danger. She started calling her food “rations”, and set herself strict times for rest and relaxation. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.130]](Hotfix):''' |
||
| − | *Fixed a bug that caused Tristana's abilities to lock up. |
||
| + | But something was missing. In her travels, she had seen many powerful inventions, including the black powder cannons of Bilgewater. Inspired by them, she collected enough precious metal discs to commission a gun suited to her diminutive size. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.129]]:''' |
||
| − | * Base attack damage increased to 46.5 from 44.5 |
||
| − | * Tristana will now automatically attack the target she casts {{ai|Explosive Shot|Tristana}} on |
||
| − | * {{ai|Buster Shot|Tristana}} |
||
| − | ** Knockback radius increased to 200 from 175 |
||
| − | ** Now has an indicator around the target to show knockback radius (similar to {{cai|Conflagration|Brand}} |
||
| + | With a wry smile, she named it Boomer. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.120]]:''' |
||
| − | * Fixed a bug where {{ai|Rocket Jump|Tristana}} cooldown reset upon kill or assist could fail if Tristana's damage output was fully absorbed by a shield. |
||
| + | Since then,Tristana has defended the bandlewoods from innumerable threats. In the jungles of the Serpent Isles, she intervened in a clash between the local [[Buhru]] people and treasure hunters from Valoran that was getting too close to a hidden portal, sending them all running for their lives after she leapt into their midst, Boomer roaring. And in the burning deserts at the edge of Shurima, she destroyed a Void-horror after it began consuming a secret bandlewood oasis, killing it with an explosive bomb down the gullet. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.115]]:''' |
||
| − | * {{ai|Explosive Shot|Tristana}} |
||
| − | ** Damage now applies over 5 seconds instead of 4 to 8. |
||
| − | ** Total damage increased to 110/140/170/200/230 up from 100/125/150/175/200. |
||
| − | ** Healing reduction duration is now a static 5 seconds from 3 to 8. |
||
| + | Tristana has become something of a legend in Bandle City, and recently, a number of yordles have started to imitate her, trying—and mostly failing—to copy her disciplined ways. Some have even had weapons mimicking Boomer constructed for them by the scrappy inventor Rumble, who is always seeking to win Tristana’s approval. While Tristana finds this all rather embarrassing, she has come to the conclusion that if they are going to defend the pathways to Bandle City, they had better do it properly. As such, she has started training these new recruits, and they have adopted a new moniker—the Bandle Gunners. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.106]]:''' |
||
| − | * Base movement speed reduced to 300 from 310. |
||
| − | * {{ai|Rocket Jump|Tristana}}: No longer deals damage and slows if the jump is interrupted by another movement effect. |
||
| + | Nevertheless, Tristana can often be found out in the wilds on patrol by herself—simultaneously protecting the bandlewoods and also getting away from her new, and rather annoying, trainees. |
||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.100]]:''' |
||
| − | * {{ai|Rocket Jump|Tristana}}: |

||
| − | '''[[V1.0.0.52]]:''' |
||
| + | Tristana has a very rowdy and impulsive personality. She's very excitable (especially when it comes to fighting) and more often than not tends to act without much forethought, in spite of how much she truly means well. One of Tristana's most defining traits is her ambition towards becoming a hero and creating her own adventure, being the reason why she became the feisty and strong-willed powerhouse she is today in the first place. Tristana is also incredibly selfless in spite of how scatterbrained and wacky she is otherwise, as she has protected Bandle City's gateways from mortals of Runeterra to the point of inspiring other yordles to protect the city as well. |

Tristana was always inspired by the adventures of great warriors. She had heard much about

Background
Early life
Like most yordles, Tristana was always fascinated by the world beyond Bandle City. She traveled far and wide, full of wonder and enthusiasm for the varied places, people, and creatures she encountered. Using the hidden pathways that only yordles know, she explored the length and breadth of the material realm, remaining mostly unseen.
She witnessed such breathtaking sights as ice trolls migrating across the floes of the far north beneath kaleidoscopic auroras. She marveled as warships blasted each other to pieces in naval battles that churned the seas. She watched, awestruck, as great armies marched with unity and precision—incredibly strange concepts to a yordle!—across the endless sands to the south.
But Tristana’s carefree, wandering ways changed the day she witnessed the destruction of a bandlewood. These places are steeped in the magic of the gateways they grow around, giving yordles a safe haven from the world. Tristana, dozing in the dappled sunshine, was shaken awake as the trees around her began to burn and topple. A warband of armored marauders rampaged through the woodland with fire and axes, led by a sorcerer wreathed in dark energy.
Tristana hid in horror. The sorcerer focused his power upon the portal at the heart of the bandlewood, speaking one final utterance. Her ears still ringing with pain, Tristana watched the gateway collapse, never to be opened again. The ripples of that destruction were felt in Bandle City itself, causing great despair among the yordles.
Tristana had never experienced anything like the pain of this loss, or the guilt she felt for not acting. Never again would she allow such a terrible thing to happen. In that moment, she dedicated herself to become the guardian of all bandlewoods, and her fellow yordles.
Tristana had often marveled at how mortals protected the things that were dear to them. While she couldn’t comprehend their reasons to guard shiny metals, or walls of stone, she respected their methods, and decided to emulate them. Other yordles watched with curiosity as she took to marching around the borders of Bandle City stern-faced, and watching out for danger. She started calling her food “rations”, and set herself strict times for rest and relaxation.
But something was missing. In her travels, she had seen many powerful inventions, including the black powder cannons of Bilgewater. Inspired by them, she collected enough precious metal discs to commission a gun suited to her diminutive size.
With a wry smile, she named it Boomer.
Since then,Tristana has defended the bandlewoods from innumerable threats. In the jungles of the Serpent Isles, she intervened in a clash between the local Buhru people and treasure hunters from Valoran that was getting too close to a hidden portal, sending them all running for their lives after she leapt into their midst, Boomer roaring. And in the burning deserts at the edge of Shurima, she destroyed a Void-horror after it began consuming a secret bandlewood oasis, killing it with an explosive bomb down the gullet.
Tristana has become something of a legend in Bandle City, and recently, a number of yordles have started to imitate her, trying—and mostly failing—to copy her disciplined ways. Some have even had weapons mimicking Boomer constructed for them by the scrappy inventor Rumble, who is always seeking to win Tristana’s approval. While Tristana finds this all rather embarrassing, she has come to the conclusion that if they are going to defend the pathways to Bandle City, they had better do it properly. As such, she has started training these new recruits, and they have adopted a new moniker—the Bandle Gunners.
Nevertheless, Tristana can often be found out in the wilds on patrol by herself—simultaneously protecting the bandlewoods and also getting away from her new, and rather annoying, trainees.

Personality
Tristana has a very rowdy and impulsive personality. She's very excitable (especially when it comes to fighting) and more often than not tends to act without much forethought, in spite of how much she truly means well. One of Tristana's most defining traits is her ambition towards becoming a hero and creating her own adventure, being the reason why she became the feisty and strong-willed powerhouse she is today in the first place. Tristana is also incredibly selfless in spite of how scatterbrained and wacky she is otherwise, as she has protected Bandle City's gateways from mortals of Runeterra to the point of inspiring other yordles to protect the city as well.
Abilities
- Cannon Proficiency: There's a reason why she carries a cannon around.
- Yordle Physiology: Tristana is a Yordle, a being coming from the Spirit Realm and possesses several abilities natural of her species.
- Immortality: Being spiritual beings, Yordles don't age the same way as normal humans, and they can't normally die.
- Yordle Magic: Just like any Yordle, Tristana is capable of performing yordle magic, which she utilizes in tandem with her skills as a gunner.
Relations
Other Yordles
Tristana,
Teemo, 
Lulu and 
Corki are friends. Tristana finds Lulu to be quite a handful and bothersome yordle. 
Rumble has an obvious (named his mech 'Tristy') crush on her.
Draven
Draven had encountered both Lulu and Tristana, fought and fled from them during his return trip from Basilich to Noxus Prime.
Graves
Graves captured Teemo for the bounty on yordles while 
Twisted Fate refuses because "messing with Yordles brings a whole heap of trouble." Corki, Lulu and Tristana fought 
Graves when trying to save Teemo, which ended up in Graves being 
turned into a frog and the Yordles escaping.
