Damage
775Tristana
1,115Vex
Vex heavily out-damages Tristana by 340 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Tristana should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Vex's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
14,685Tristana
14,542Vex
Tristana and Vex generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 143 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
0.2Tristana
1.1Vex
Vex brings significantly more crowd control than Tristana, with 0.9 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Vex far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Tristana should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
775Tristana
938Vex
Vex vastly out-sustains Tristana, healing and mitigating 164 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Vex can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Tristana is forced to recall.
