Who Wins
- You win level 2 with Q-E burst combined with Caitlyn's follow-up damage, and you maintain level 6 advantage through your R execute potential and superior range.
- Your Q creates easy setups for Caitlyn traps and headshots that the enemy duo cannot match early.
Synergy & Trading
- Lead with Q when enemies are farming or positioned poorly, then immediately E for guaranteed damage while Caitlyn follows with autos and abilities.
- Use your range advantage to poke with E when Q is down, forcing them to use mana on sustain.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam after getting enemy duo low and pushing waves, typically around levels 4-6 when you have kill pressure on mid lane.
- Look for roam timings when Smolder is forced to farm under tower and cannot follow quickly.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions or use it predictably, as missing Q removes most of your kill pressure and trading potential.
- Avoid standing too close to Seraphine's range when your abilities are on cooldown, as she can turn trades with her passive-empowered abilities.
