Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win through hook threat and Caitlyn's range creating oppressive zone control.
- Post-6: Still favorable but must respect Mel's W reflecting your ADC's damage and global R pressure.
Synergy & Trading
- Hook priority: Jhin first as he's immobile during R, then Mel when W is down.
- Follow successful hooks with E-auto while Caitlyn adds DPS, and use W to chase or disengage as needed.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after successful recalls or when enemies are low and forced to base.
- Best timings are after shoving waves with Caitlyn's superior clear, targeting mid lane or invading with your jungler.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never hook when Mel has W available as she can reflect Caitlyn's follow-up damage.
- Avoid hooking through multiple minions against Jhin as his Q bounces can chunk you during approach.
