From the counter table · Patch 7.2dOne of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
- From the enemy's side — Heimerdinger's page lists Tristana among its hardest matchups.
How to play it
- Press early
Tristana is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Cut the healing
Heimerdinger sustains — Chempunk Chainsword on your first back.
- Magic resistance
Heimerdinger deals magic damage — a matching defensive item as your 2nd or 3rd item.
- Full combo or nothing
Heimerdinger is squishy — wait for every ability, go in once. No half-combo trades.
- Ward the jungle
You out-trade Heimerdinger; the only danger is their jungler — ward before pressing.
When you are in danger
- Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Heimerdinger's crowd control.
- Respect the spike
Heimerdinger gets far more dangerous with the ultimate — dial back after level 5.
