Abilities
Riot's own text for each slot, in the order the champion learns them.
1 RAPID FIRE
Tristana increases her Attack Speed for a short time.
2 ROCKET JUMP
Tristana fires at the ground to propel her to a distant location, dealing damage and slowing surrounding units for a brief period where she lands. Takedowns and fully stacked Explosive Charge detonations on champions reset Rocket Jump's cooldown.
3 EXPLOSIVE CHARGE
When Tristana kills a unit, her cannonballs burst into shrapnel, dealing damage to surrounding enemies. Can be activated to place a bomb on a target enemy or turret that explodes after a short duration dealing damage to surrounding units.
ULTIMATE BUSTER SHOT
Tristana loads a massive cannonball into her weapon and fires it at an enemy unit. This deals Magic Damage and knocks the target back.
