Who Wins
- You lose level 2 as W cleanse can't prevent the initial Nautilus Q displacement and Caitlyn's follow-up damage.
- You win level 6 with R knock-up into Ashe R combo, which provides superior teamfight setup than Caitlyn's single-target burst.
Synergy & Trading
- E shield on Ashe during Caitlyn poke, then Q when she steps forward for trades to maximize damage windows.
- Use W reactively to cleanse Nautilus Q root rather than proactively, as the timing is crucial for negating their combo.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when Ashe can safely farm under tower and you have vision control, typically after successful backs around levels 5-7.
- Focus on mid lane ganks with Q-R combo or river fights where your R can turn skirmishes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste W cleanse on minor CC like Caitlyn W traps - save it for Nautilus Q in crucial moments.
- Avoid using R aggressively without Ashe follow-up, as you'll lack disengage tools if the fight goes poorly.
