The Tristana versus Varus matchup as ADC is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
Except for rare builds, Tristana deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Varus has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Varus, ranking 6th (versus 23rd for Tristana) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.3 versus 2.4) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Tristana player to maintain constant pressure on Varus, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
