Yasuo vs Tristana · Bot

The lane in ten seconds, then the whole brief — written by our coach for your level, from Riot's own kits for patch 16.22. Every number checked against Riot's data. Options, never orders.

Written for

The same lane is not played the same way in Silver and in Diamond: pick your level, the advice changes. Signed in, Olymps opens on your rank. Coaching, not statistics — the abilities and Riot's cooldowns are the same at every level.

BotYasuo vs TristanaGold – Platinum
The key

Minions fuel your E; without them she kites you freely.

Tristana R — Buster Shot

Wind Wall the shot, or expect to be shoved away.

Your window

After her W is spent, with minions beside her.

How the lane plays · Gold – Platinum

She outranges you and kites, so you need minions for E (Sweeping Blade) and a Wind Wall at the right moment to close the gap.

Levels 1-2

Her auto range beats yours. Use E (Sweeping Blade) through minions to dodge poke, and look for short trades when she walks up to last-hit.

Levels 3-5

Get Q (Steel Tempest) stacks on minions so a knock-up is ready. Her W (Rocket Jump) is her gap-closer and escape, so trade once it is spent.

Level 6+

Her R (Buster Shot) shoves you out of a trade. W (Wind Wall) can cover the shot. Your R needs a knock-up, so it depends on your support or Q3.

Play it aggressive

After she spends W (Rocket Jump), look for a Q and E trade with minions near her, since her escape is gone.

Stack Q on minions, then E through one to land a Q3 knock-up when her support is out of position.

When she misses her E bomb on you, you can walk up for a short trade.

Play it safe

Her range grows with levels, so don't stand in open space with no minion to dash through.

At low health with her R up, her knockback ruins your all-in. Back off or play near your wall.

A bomb on you plus an enemy support engage is a lot to take; don't stay in it too long.

Their threats · Riot's cooldowns

Tristana W — Rocket Jump
W · Rocket Jump22 → 14 s

Rocket Jump slows you and lets her escape or reposition mid-trade. Don't chase blindly after it; trade when it's down and she can't jump out.

Tristana E — Explosive Charge
E · Explosive Charge16 → 14 s

Explosive Charge puts a bomb on you that hits nearby units. Step off your support when it's on you, and don't hold the dash into a bad spot.

Tristana R — Buster Shot
R · Buster Shot100 s

Buster Shot knocks you back and doubles a bomb's blast radius. Wind Wall can cover the shot. Respect it when you are low or committed.

Your combo

Yasuo Q — Steel Tempest›Yasuo E — Sweeping Blade›Yasuo Q — Steel Tempest›AA

Q a minion for the first stack, E through a minion beside her, then Q for the circle knock-up and an AA.

How this is written

Our coach reads both kits exactly as Riot publishes them for the current patch — abilities, cooldowns, costs, ranges — and writes the lane for one level at a time: Iron – Silver, Gold – Platinum, Emerald – Diamond, Master+. Every number in the text is checked against Riot's data; a line that cites anything else is dropped. No win rates, no tier lists: coaching, not statistics.
