Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most 2v2s due to Caitlyn's superior range and consistent DPS against your reload windows.
- Post-6 you gain kill threat with R but still struggle in extended trades due to range disadvantage and Zilean's E speed boost negating your W root setup.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q bounces through minions to poke Caitlyn when she steps up for CS, then follow with W if Lux lands Q.
- Your best trading windows are when you have 4th shot ready and can burst quickly before retreating during reload.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push for early recalls to avoid getting poked out, but be careful not to overextend as Caitlyn can freeze and zone you from CS.
- Focus on maintaining even farm rather than trying to create advantages through wave manipulation.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Caitlyn's range in extended poke wars as you'll lose every time during reload phases.
- Avoid using W without Lux CC setup as it's easily dodged and wastes your main engage tool.
