Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Caitlyn's range advantage and trap control limiting your engage angles, but post-6 your R-W combo can bypass her safety tools.
  • Level 2 provides a brief window if you can surprise engage.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use W when enemies are focused on CS or slowed by Seraphine's abilities, then E back to safety after proccing your passive shield.
  • Look for R-Flash-W combos when Seraphine has R available for follow-up.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam frequently after level 3 when Seraphine can handle the 1v2 temporarily, targeting mid lane or jungle skirmishes.
  • Time roams when Caitlyn recalls or when the wave is pushing toward your tower.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't engage without your R against Caitlyn's trap control and range advantage, as she can kite you easily.
  • Avoid telegraphed W engages where Caitlyn can predict and trap your landing location.
