Who Wins
- Caitlyn-Alistar wins level 2 due to Alistar's W-Q combo threat and Caitlyn's superior range advantage.
- At level 6, you gain significant power with your R poke and escape potential, but they still have kill pressure if Alistar lands W-Q into Caitlyn's W trap combo.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q poke when Caitlyn is CSing, then immediately back off to avoid her Q-auto trade response.
- Let Pyke engage with Q hook when enemies are low from your poke, then follow up with E forward for burst damage and auto attacks.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early waves to get level 2 first since you have better waveclear with Q, then transition to freezing near your tower.
- This forces Caitlyn to overextend for CS, making her vulnerable to Pyke hooks while keeping you safe from Alistar engages.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never E forward aggressively without vision of enemy jungler or when Alistar has W-Q available.
- Your E puts you in Alistar's engage range, and once he lands combo, Caitlyn's follow-up damage with W trap will likely result in your death.
