Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 to Caitlyn's range advantage and Neeko's root setups, but win post-6 with R resets and Sona's healing support.
- Level 2 can provide brief trading windows if you land W to block their abilities.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to block Caitlyn's Q or Neeko's E, then dash in with E for short trades before backing out.
- Stack your passive through minion kills and short ability rotations, saving full combos for post-6 all-ins.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Accept CS deficits early and focus on farming safely until level 6, then look for aggressive plays.
- Freeze waves near your tower to force them into risky positions when you have R available.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never engage without W available to block Neeko's E, as getting rooted means certain death to Caitlyn's follow-up.
- Don't waste your E dash on minions when enemies are in range to punish your positioning.
