Who Wins
- Pre-6 your engage is strong but Caitlyn's range makes it hard to land Q, and Pantheon can counter-engage effectively.
- Post-6 your R gives reliable engage that can set up kills even through Yunara's scaling advantage.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q angles when Caitlyn steps up for poke or when Pantheon commits with W, as they'll be focused on trading.
- Use E to slow and help Yunara kite after engaging, maximizing her damage window.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Yes, roam frequently after helping Yunara survive early laning phase, especially when she's farming safely under tower.
- Optimal timings are when enemy bot recalls or when you have vision of their jungler elsewhere.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste Q on minions when enemies are nearby, as it's your only reliable engage tool with significant cooldown.
- Avoid engaging when Yunara doesn't have Q stacks ready, as she won't have enough damage to follow up effectively.
