Who Wins
- You win level 2 all-ins with E-auto-Q-auto combo while Pyke provides Q-E follow-up, but you lose level 6 fights due to Malphite's R engage and Caitlyn's superior range.
- Your mobility advantage diminishes as Caitlyn's range becomes more oppressive in extended fights.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E aggressively for auto-Q-auto trades when Malphite's Q is on cooldown, then immediately reposition to avoid Caitlyn's follow-up damage.
- Your strongest trading pattern involves short bursts with passive double-shot, avoiding extended fights where Caitlyn's range advantage accumulates damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Hard push early levels to establish priority, then look for short trades and resets rather than sustained pushing.
- Maintain wave control to enable Pyke's roam timings while avoiding long freezes where Caitlyn can abuse range freely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't E forward without Pyke's abilities available, as you'll be isolated against two champions with superior range and CC.
- Never commit to extended trades in large minion waves, as Caitlyn's Q and auto-attacks will outdamage your burst rotation.
