Who Wins
- Pre-6 you lose most 2v2s as Zilean's E makes your Q easier to dodge while Caitlyn outranges your poke.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill pressure with R execute damage, but Zilean's R makes all-ins risky unless you can bait it first.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E to zone and slow enemies for easier Q setups, then follow with full combo when Q lands.
- Coordinate with Jhin's W after your Q hits for guaranteed root and burst potential.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid after shoving waves when Jhin can safely farm under tower, typically around levels 6-9.
- Look for roam timings when Caitlyn recalls or when your wave is pushing into their tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions for waveclear as it's your only reliable engage tool in this matchup.
- Avoid standing in Caitlyn's auto range when trying to poke as she'll out-trade you with headshot procs.
