Who Wins
- Pre-6: You lose most trades as Braum blocks your engage with W and Caitlyn outranges your follow-up damage.
- Post-6: You have better all-in potential with R, but Caitlyn's E and Braum's R make successful engages difficult.
Synergy & Trading
- Only engage when Braum is separated from Caitlyn or when you have a clear angle that bypasses his W block.
- Use E-Q combo quickly before Braum can react, and coordinate with Kalista's R for guaranteed follow-up.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when the wave is pushing away from you and Kalista is safe to farm under tower.
- Best timings are after backing with mobility boots or when mid lane is overextended around levels 6-9.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't engage when Braum is positioned between you and Caitlyn as he will block everything with W.
- Avoid using E predictably as good Braums will W to block it and leave you out of position.
