This comp can be much stronger if you get a Duelist Emblem you can give to late-game units such as Rakan, Wukon or even Udyr! It has also great scaling and many reliable late-game side carries such as Lee Sin, Irelia, Wukong or Rakan!

Tips: Don't hesitate to put Tristana on 2nd row once you have Sage so she can get more Omnivamp and clutch more fights! She will jump away from danger anyways.

Gameplan

GAMEPLAN This is a 3 cost reroll comp so here's how to play it:

  • Consider this comp if you rapidly have Volibear or Tristana and relevant items
  • Play stage 2 and 3 "normally" (try to win most fights and build your econ as much as you can)
  • Push lvl 7 at stage 4-1
  • Roll to find your 2 stars to stabilize your board
  • Rebuild your econ back to 50g
  • Slow roll for your 3 stars
  • Once you find them, push your levels to add late game units

Tristana has a lot of attack speed from Duelist so you want to maximize her DPS by giving her AD items or item amplification items such as Giant Slayer or Guardbreaker. I don't really recommend giving her more Attack Speed with Guinsoo for instance or Red Buff but if you have no other choice then give that to her.
