Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 trades due to Caitlyn's range and Bard's disengage, but post-6 your R-E combo creates strong all-in potential that can overcome their poke advantage.
- Level 2 gives you basic engage tools but Bard's Q can interrupt your combos.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for R-E-Q combos when Bard is out of position or has used Q, as your full rotation can burst Caitlyn before she escapes.
- Use W preemptively before engaging to maximize your survivability during the all-in.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Yes, roam when your ADC can safely farm under tower or after successful recalls that give item advantages.
- Optimal timings are when Caitlyn pushes aggressively without vision or when Bard leaves lane for chimes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage when Bard has R available unless you can guarantee the kill, as his ultimate can completely negate your combo.
- Avoid using E without R backup post-6, as Caitlyn can easily kite you without the additional lockdown.
