Who Wins
- You win pre-6 with successful E setups enabling Caitlyn's damage, but lose post-6 to Samira's R and Sona's R combo.
- Your root becomes less reliable as Samira gains mobility and spell shield options.
Synergy & Trading
- Land E from fog of war or during Caitlyn's trap zones, then follow with Q while Caitlyn executes headshot combos.
- Use W clone to bait Samira's abilities or create confusion during trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Push waves early to enable roam timings around scuttle and mid lane skirmishes.
- Roam when Samira is low or when your wave crashes, as your R can turn jungle fights decisively.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E on Samira when she has W ready to block it, as this removes your primary engage tool.
- Avoid using R in lane without jungle assistance, as Sona's R can interrupt your channel.
