Tips for Playing as Tristana with Varus

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 Understand How Varus Will Play

Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.

During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.
