Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through sustain and disengage tools, but must respect their poke and all-in potential when abilities are down.
- Post-6 the matchup stays similar, though Lux R adds significant burst threat to their combo.
Synergy & Trading
- Use E on Caitlyn for extended trades, then W bounce for sustain while threatening Q if they try to engage.
- Look for Q angles when they're focused on CSing or when Lux steps up for poke.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam when your wave is pushed and Caitlyn can safely farm under tower, typically after successful trades or recalls.
- Best timings are around 6-8 minutes for mid ganks or river vision control.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions or obvious angles, as it's your only disengage tool against their all-in potential.
- Avoid face-checking bushes without vision since Lux Q from fog of war can lead to instant death.
