Guide to Synergizing Tristana and Malphite

Tips for Playing as Tristana with Malphite

Use Rapid Fire to help stack up your Explosive Charge on enemy champions.

Her massive gun allows Tristana to fire on targets at a great distance. Utilize this to prevent your enemies from ever laying a hand on you.

Use Rocket Jump after you have stacked up your Explosive Charge on an enemy to finish them off with a burst of damage.

Advice to Understand How Malphite Will Play

Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.

Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.
