Fae Tristana

Patience defines Fae Tristana: the board holds level 7 and rolls steadily until Tristana caps out at three stars. Across roughly 25,500 ranked games on patch 18.1 it averages a 4.78 finish, good for Tier C.

Meta position: 28th of 53 tracked comps; within its grade it is 1st among 12 Tier-C comps, ahead of its tier's 4.95 median by 0.17. At a 1.41% pick rate — the median comp sees 0.49 percent — this is one of the lobby's popular lines, so scout before you commit.

Itemization starts with Tristana: Giant Slayer, Guinsoo's Rageblade, and Hextech Gunblade shows up more than any other setup in the sample, averaging 4.33 when completed. Rammus comes second in the item queue.

The final board keeps 6 traits active, led by Fae (4) — Sprykin (3) rounds out the core. There is latent Brawler on this board — 1 unit, not yet active — one Brawler Emblem activates the 2-piece bonus outright.

Our model's emblem pick for this exact roster is Brawler Emblem — then Rapidfire Emblem. On the Brawler Emblem ranking itself, this comp sits 10th of 23.

Fae Tristana is not the only board that wants Tristana — Defender Cassiopeia and Fae Rengar star it too, so scout for it before locking your board in.
