Who Wins

  • At level 6, you win if you can land W on either enemy as your ultimate provides strong follow-up damage and CC.

Synergy & Trading

  • Look to W onto Jhin when he's reloading or Pyke when he misses hook, then immediately Q backwards to disengage after Caitlyn follows up.
  • Use E in brushes to zone and provide vision control while threatening engage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • You should not roam in this matchup as Caitlyn needs protection from Pyke hooks and your presence is crucial for her safety.
  • Focus on maintaining vision control and staying close to prevent ganks.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never engage without vision of the enemy jungler as Pyke's hook into enemy jungle ganks will result in certain death.
  • Avoid face-checking brushes against Pyke as his hook from fog of war is nearly unavoidable.
