Who Wins
- Caitlyn wins pre-6 due to superior range and poke with Q, forcing you into unfavorable trades.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R if Blitzcrank lands Q, but Caitlyn still controls the lane through range advantage.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q bounces off minions when Caitlyn steps up for CS, then follow with W auto-attacks for short trades.
- Avoid extended trades unless Blitzcrank lands Q, as Caitlyn will out-damage you with headshots and range.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push early levels to hit level 2 first and enable Blitzcrank's engage potential.
- After that, maintain neutral or slightly pushed waves to avoid Caitlyn's freeze while staying in position for Blitzcrank hooks.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never walk up for CS without minions between you and Caitlyn, as her Q and auto-attack range will chunk you heavily.
- Don't use R in teamfights if Alistar has W-Q combo available, as the displacement will cancel your channel.
