Who Wins
- You lose level 2 trades against Caitlyn's range and Bard's meep damage, but win level 6 all-ins with Nautilus ultimate setup.
- Your evolved Q and W combined with Nautilus lockdown creates guaranteed kill pressure.
Synergy & Trading
- Stay behind minions to avoid Bard Q stuns and only trade when Nautilus lands a hook or when enemies misposition.
- Use your Q evolution to clear waves quickly and your W to poke from safe range once you have items.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Accept being pushed in early and focus on farming safely until level 6 and first item spike.
- Look for slow pushes back after getting items to set up Nautilus engages in favorable positions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Caitlyn's early game aggression or walk into her trap zones without Nautilus protection.
- Never use your ultimate aggressively without vision of Bard, as his portal can turn your engage into a bad position.
