Who Wins
- Caitlyn wins pre-6 through superior range and poke, making it difficult to engage without taking significant damage from her Q and autos.
- Post-6 the matchup remains Caitlyn-favored as Milio's R can cleanse your engage and provide team-wide healing during fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for W-Q combos when Caitlyn steps up to harass Smolder or when she's focused on last-hitting cannon minions.
- Time your engages when Milio is out of position or has used abilities on minions, as his W and R can completely negate your all-in potential.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam frequently after level 3 since the lane is difficult to win through direct fighting.
- Look for roams when Smolder can safely farm under tower or when the wave is pushing toward your side, timing roams around mid lane ganks or river skirmishes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage when Milio has R available as he can instantly cleanse your combo and heal his team.
- Avoid taking free poke from Caitlyn while looking for engages, as this will put you too low to effectively all-in when opportunities arise.
