Tristana
GameplayTristana is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities[]
- Tristana can still use her abilities, summoner spells, and item actives during Rocket Jump.
- Rocket Jump's dash speed depends on the distance of the jump. Close-ranged jumps are much shorter while long-ranged jumps leave Tristana in the air significantly longer.
- If Tristana has less than 850 movement speed, a full-range Rocket Jump (including its cast time) will make her arrive quicker at its destination than walking at this speed could.
- Killing clones or detonating Explosive Charge on them also resets Rocket Jump's cooldown.
- The former may be unintended.
- Explosive Charge's cast time is always 100% of the caster's attack windup time.
- At base attack speed, Tristana's attack windup is 0.225625 seconds.
- An easy formula to calculate the cast time is [ 0.14801 seconds divided by total attack speed ].
- Reducing Tristana's attack speed via attack speed reductions also increases Explosive Charge's cast time by the same fraction.
- It is calculated from Tristana's total attack speed after cap (2.5) and floor (0.2), making the maximum possible cast time 0.759 seconds.
- Tristana will be automatically ordered to basic attack the target after the cast time.
- Explosive Charge's initial application deals 0 physical damage, triggering turret aggro.
- It also triggers a stack of effects such as Electrocute.
- It also triggers a stack of effects such as
- All explosions by Explosive Charge's passive count as the same cast instance. Every cast of the active is a separate cast instance:
- Hitting a champion with the passive by killing a nearby unit, casting the active on them (see note above) and landing a basic attack against them triggers Electrocute.
- Hitting a champion with the passive by killing a nearby unit, casting the active on them and hitting them again with the Passive by killing another nearby unit does not trigger Electrocute.
- Hitting a champion with the passive by killing a nearby unit, casting the active on them (see note above) and landing a basic attack against them triggers
- Dodge, block and blind all prevent Explosive Charge's stack application via basic attacks.
- Explosive Charge's detonation will deal damage to the primary target even if they have become untargetable.
- Explosive Charge's stacks from basic attacks are applied as an on-hit effect and will therefore interact with Guinsoo's Rageblade's Phantom Hit and Runaan's Hurricane's bolts.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- Applies spell damage to the primary target and deals 0 default damage to secondary targets.
- The 0 damage to secondary targets triggers turret aggro, but does not stack Explosive Charge.
- The 0 damage to secondary targets triggers
- Tristana will attempt to basic attack the target afterwards.
- Buster Shot's displacement direction is based on Tristana's location at the end of the cast time.
- The primary target is pushed in a straight line away from that location, but the knockback distance and speed may be impeded by terrain.
- Secondary targets are displaced parallel to the primary target's displacement.
- The debuff is removed early when the forced movement stops.
- Displacement immunity will also resist the application of the stun.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).

While many other yordles channel their energy into discovery, invention, or just plain mischief-making, Tristana was always inspired by the adventures of great warriors. She had heard much about Runeterra, its factions, and its wars, and believed her kind could become worthy of legend too. Setting foot in the world for the first time, she took up her trusty cannon Boomer, and now leaps into battle with steadfast courage and optimism.

Trivia[]
- Rocket Jump is a reference to rocket jumping in FPS Arena games (like Quake) which allows oneself mobility by using a RPG or any other rocket launcher to accelerates one's jump.
- Buster Shot is a reference to the attack used by Megaman.
- Tristana has the fifth longest possible basic attack range in the game with 669 units at level 18, right after Kog'Maw when he uses his Bio-Arcane Barrage, which grants him a 710 attack range, Jinx's Fishbones at rank 5, which grants her a 725 attack range, Twitch when he uses Spray and Pray which grants him a total of 850 attack range, and Seraphine when she have full stacks(20 stacks) of her passive, Stage Presence, granting her a grand total of 1025 attack range(25 per note). This does not count champions that can have theoretically infinite range with stacking.
- Her dance references a typical soldier's stationary marching while singing a military cadence.
- A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
- Tristana can attack the Baron Nashor over the back wall once she hits Level 15 due to the extra attack range she gains from Draw a Bead.
- Tristana is the only champion in the game who's passive ability Draw a Bead cannot do anything, under any circumstances, at level 1.
