Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 in straight 2v2s due to their superior range and poke damage overwhelming your limited sustain.
- Post-6 your R execute potential and Riven's burst can win fights, but only if you successfully engage and avoid their kite potential.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W invisibility to position for Q hooks, aiming for Lux first as she's squishier and has no mobility spell.
- Follow successful hooks with E stun while Riven engages, then R for execute when enemies drop below threshold.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam mid frequently after level 3 when you have full combo available, especially when bot wave is pushing away from you.
- Look for roams when Caitlyn-Lux are low on mana or have used key abilities on minions.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't hook when Lux has Q available as she can interrupt your engage and turn the fight around.
- Avoid staying in lane when low on health as Caitlyn R can execute you from long range even under tower.
