Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 2v2s due to Lux's superior poke range and root threat limiting your engage windows.
- Post-6 you gain kill pressure with R execute, but Tristana's W escape and Lux's Q still make clean engages difficult.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for Q hook angles when Tristana is CSing or when Lux steps forward to poke, then follow with E stun for Caitlyn to land headshots.
- Your best trades come from flanking bushes or using W invisibility to reposition for better hook angles.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 6, especially when Caitlyn has wave control or recalls.
- Optimal timings are when enemy bot recalls, after successful trades that force them low, or when mid/jungle skirmishes are developing.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook into Lux's Q range without your W available for escape, as her follow-up damage with Tristana will chunk you heavily.
- Avoid staying in lane when both enemies are healthy and have abilities up, as you provide little value in extended poke wars.
