Historical Context & Version
Classic Client State
Patch 3.8 (Classic PBE)Tristana retains her original magic damage scalings, enabling her infamous AP burst-mage build.
- Rocket Jump (W): Scales with an 80% AP ratio and resets entirely on kills or assists.
- Explosive Shot (E): Classic active dot with a 1.0 AP ratio that inflicts Grievous Wounds, plus a passive splash effect on last-hits.
- Buster Shot (R): Deals massive magic damage at range with a 1.5 AP ratio.
Era Patch History
Patch 5.2 (January 2015)
Gameplay Update
Tristana's AP ratios were heavily nerfed and Explosive Shot (E) was replaced with Explosive Charge, shifting her playstyle entirely into a physical-damage marksman.

out on purpose - the two eras report them in different units, and we'd rather skip a row than fudge one.
