Tristana is one of the easiest ADC. Her true power is revealed in late game. Her main source of damage is her auto attack, although she has some interesting abilities helpful in combat. The basic one is Explosive Shot (E) - this not only deals much damage, but also causes enemies to blow out when killed, delivering additional area damage. The next important ability is Rocket Jump (W) allowing her to jump to a current target, or jump off to safety. Through Rapid Fire (Q) Tristana greatly improves her attack speed, which can be really useful in duels. Her final ability is Buster Shot (R), which both harms and pushes back all surrounding enemies. This ability combined with Rocket Jump can make Tristana really hard to get. Gold is best spent in items increasing damage, critical chance, attack speed, and life steal.
Strategy:
Just like any other ADC, Tristana has to focus on farming and not watch out not to get pushed near a friendly tower. It is best to try to hold minions waves in the middle of a lane, so Tristana had some free space to jump back (W) when jeopardized. It is also good to harass enemies with E->AA combination.
