Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 due to Caitlyn's poke and Braum's tankiness making your E pulls less effective, but post-6 your R transforms fights completely with sustain and AoE damage.
  • The matchup becomes favorable when you can force extended trades in your R zone.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use E to pull priority targets when they're locked in animations or overextended, then follow with W-Q while Kai'Sa adds plasma stacks and damage.
  • Focus on pulling Caitlyn rather than Braum, as she's squishier and your combo can force her out of fights.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Roam when you have R available and the wave is in a good state, particularly to secure objectives or help jungle invades.
  • Best roam timings are after successful backs or when enemies are low and can't follow your roams effectively.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste E on Braum when he has W available to block it, and avoid using R in open areas where Caitlyn can kite you easily.
  • Never fight extended trades without your R available, as Caitlyn's sustained damage and range will win without your sustain tool.
