Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior wave clear and zone control with your passive stars, as Caitlyn lacks the burst to quickly kill you through your sustain from minion executions.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage since your R knockback disrupts her positioning while your mobility from W makes it difficult for her to land consistent damage.
How to Trade
- Trade by positioning your passive stars to hit her while she last hits, then use Q when she steps forward for CS to force her back with the stun threat.
- Follow up with E breath if she's caught in a bad position, but respect her range advantage and don't overextend.
Wave Control
- Hard shove every wave with E executions and passive star damage to deny her CS and create roaming opportunities with W.
- Use your superior wave clear to build E stacks quickly while forcing her under tower where she struggles to match your push.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in extended trades where her superior auto attack range and headshot passive can chunk you down over time.
- Avoid using W aggressively for trades since losing your escape tool leaves you vulnerable to ganks and her follow-up damage.
