Who Wins
- Caitlyn-Nami wins pre-6 through superior range advantage and poke patterns, as Caitlyn outranges you significantly and Nami provides additional damage and sustain.
- Post-6 the matchup becomes more skill-dependent as your R provides pick potential, but they maintain lane control through better positioning tools.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to slow enemies when Sona lands Q, then follow up with autos while they're slowed and take reduced damage.
- Focus on short trades using W-auto then backing off, as extended trades favor Caitlyn's superior range and Nami's sustain.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to hit level 2 first and gain temporary trading advantage, then transition to freezing near your tower to force Caitlyn to overextend for CS.
- Avoid slow-pushing as it gives Caitlyn free poke windows and allows Nami to set up easy Q angles.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught by Nami's Q when going for CS, as it enables Caitlyn's full combo with headshot procs.
- Avoid using R aggressively without vision control, as Nami's disengage tools can easily save her ADC and leave you vulnerable to counterengage.
