Who Wins

  • Post-6 your R combined with Caitlyn's burst gives you massive kill pressure that Riven-Pyke cannot match in straight fights.

Synergy & Trading

  • Lead with E slow to enable Caitlyn's Q, then follow with Q root when enemies are slowed for guaranteed CC chain.
  • Auto-attack after landing Q to proc passive, then back off while Caitlyn follows up with headshot damage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam mid after shoving waves when Caitlyn can safely farm alone, typically levels 5-7 when you have strong gank setup.
  • Look for roams when enemy bot lane recalls or when river is warded and safe to traverse.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste Q on minions when enemies are in range to engage, as it's your only hard CC to stop Riven or Pyke all-ins.
  • Avoid standing too close to Caitlyn as Pyke R can execute both of you if you're low and grouped.
