Who Wins

  • You lose level 2 all-ins heavily due to range disadvantage and lack of early damage output.
  • Level 6 is still unfavorable as Caitlyn's net plus Janna ultimate negates your engage potential with Ashe arrow.

Synergy & Trading

  • Focus on last-hitting safely and only trade when Ashe can land arrows for guaranteed follow-up damage.
  • Use your Q to farm from maximum range and avoid extended trades until you have significant stack advantage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Accept CS deficits early and focus on safe farming under tower to reach your scaling breakpoints.
  • Coordinate with Ashe to freeze waves near your tower where her arrow threat is maximized.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never greed for CS in Caitlyn's trap zones or when Janna has tornado available.
  • Avoid face-checking bushes as Caitlyn's headshot combos can chunk you heavily in early game.
