Who Wins
- You win level 2 all-ins with Pyke's hook setup and your slow preventing their escape, but you lose level 6 trades due to Bard's ultimate disrupting your combos and Caitlyn's range advantage.
- Your arrow can catch them if they overextend, but their disengage tools are superior.
Synergy & Trading
- Use your W slow when Pyke lands hooks to prevent their escape, then follow up with auto-attacks while they're CC'd.
- Your best trading windows are when Bard is collecting chimes or roaming, allowing you to pressure Caitlyn with Pyke's engage threat.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on freezing the wave near your tower to force Caitlyn into Pyke's hook range when she tries to CS.
- Avoid pushing unless you can crash the wave completely, as Caitlyn's range makes her difficult to punish in neutral wave states.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use your ultimate aggressively in lane unless it's a guaranteed kill, as Bard's portal and Caitlyn's net make escapes likely.
- Avoid trading when Bard has Q available and minions are positioned for easy stuns, as his follow-up with Caitlyn is lethal.
