Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win most 2v2s through Q poke matching Lux's waveclear while building passive stacks, plus W reflecting her abilities back.
- Post-6 you dominate as W reflects both Lux R and Ezreal R while your own R executes low targets globally.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke and build passive stacks, then look for E root setups when enemies are low enough for Caitlyn to follow up with trap combos.
- Your W should be saved reactively to reflect incoming Lux Q or R, turning their engage attempts against them.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam after level 6 when your R becomes available, focusing on mid lane or jungle skirmishes where your global execute can secure kills.
- Time roams when the wave is pushing toward enemies and Caitlyn can safely farm alone.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W proactively as it's your main tool for reflecting Lux's burst combo and surviving all-ins.
- Avoid using E aggressively without Caitlyn nearby as you lack escape tools and can be punished by Ezreal's mobility.
