Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q to poke when enemies are grouped or in minion waves for maximum AoE value, then use W to block Caitlyn's Q retaliation.
  • Stack your passive projectiles on minions then auto-attack enemies for enhanced damage when they step up to trade.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Focus on pushing waves with Q to deny Caitlyn her range advantage and force fights in minion waves where your AoE excels.
  • Control vision around river to prevent Nami roams and maintain pressure through consistent poke.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W barrier on minor poke as it's your main defensive tool against Caitlyn's burst combos.
  • Avoid using E root aggressively without Veigar follow-up since you'll be vulnerable to Nami's Q bubble counter-engage.
