Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through your engage potential and Caitlyn's range advantage creating favorable trading windows.
- Post-6 remains strong, but Brand's R and Samira's mobility require more careful engage timing.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for E-Q combos when Brand is positioning aggressively or Samira is farming, then let Caitlyn follow up with damage.
- Your W provides sustain in extended trades that they can't match.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after successful recalls or when Caitlyn has wave control - look for mid ganks at levels 3-4 and again post-6.
- Time roams when enemies are low or when your ADC can safely farm under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage without considering Samira's W and mobility - she can block your R and dash away from your combo.
- Avoid all-ins when Brand has full combo available unless you're significantly ahead.
