Is Lucian better when played alongside Tristana?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Lucian that will always be his top synergy. Yet, Tristana is a decent companion for Lucian. By being on the same team as Lucian, she raises their win rate by 1.2% to 50.0%. This shows that there is a potentially meaningful strategic relationship between Lucian and Tristana that results in them performing better together than without each other.

Tristana has a lower difficulty than Lucian. That means Lucian players don't need to be very careful when arranging Tristana comrades to play with, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Working on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by aligning Lucian and Tristana together, you may not be providing your side a great deal of support. Plan to bring other champions on your team that fills this hole in their kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Tristana teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
