Scuttle Contest
- You lose early scuttle fights due to Caitlyn's range advantage and your energy-gated clear, so focus on quick rotations to avoid confrontation.
- Post-6, you win if you can land E on her before she places W traps, using R to gap-close and burst before she can kite.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Caitlyn will likely full-clear efficiently starting from her bot-side buff, then look to contest scuttle or counter-jungle your camps.
- She'll prioritize farming over ganking early, then transition to objective control around dragons.
Invade or Not
- Only invade if you can catch her at low health during her clear, specifically at krugs or gromp around 3:00-3:20.
- Avoid invading her jungle after she gets items, as her range and trap placement make escaping difficult.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your W shroud for clearing camps or minor trades, as you need it for escaping her range advantage.
- Avoid engaging without your R available, as Caitlyn's E and superior kiting will leave you unable to close gaps effectively.
