Guide to Countering Jax as Tristana

Tips for Playing as Tristana against Jax

Use Rapid Fire to help stack up your Explosive Charge on enemy champions.

Her massive gun allows Tristana to fire on targets at a great distance. Utilize this to prevent your enemies from ever laying a hand on you.

Use Rocket Jump after you have stacked up your Explosive Charge on an enemy to finish them off with a burst of damage.

Advice to Win Against Jax

Try to engage him in short bursts instead of going toe-to-toe with him. Preventing him from attacking consecutively drastically lowers his damage output.

Jax can dodge all incoming attacks for a very short amount of time and stuns enemies in melee range when it ends. Wait to strike him until after his dodge is finished.
