Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Caitlyn's range advantage and Seraphine's sustain negating your poke.
- Post-6 you can win if you land W into R combo, but their range and disengage tools still favor them in extended trades.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q bounces on low minions to poke, then follow up with W when enemies are positioned aggressively.
- Coordinate with Karma's R+Q for burst trades since you can't match their sustained damage output.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on farming safely and avoid pushing into their range advantage unless Karma can provide strong shield support.
- Look for freeze opportunities when they overextend, as your W can punish their aggression.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't use W without proper setup since missing it leaves you vulnerable to their superior range for 12+ seconds.
- Avoid trading when your passive is down since you can't match Caitlyn's consistent DPS without your reload burst.
