Who Wins
- You lose level 2 due to Caitlyn's range advantage and Bard's engage potential, but win level 6 with R execution potential and superior teamfight damage.
- Your Q-E combo becomes more threatening once you have mana items to sustain poke.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q to poke through minions and follow with E when enemies are slowed or stunned by Bard.
- Save W for when enemies commit to trades, as the delayed damage and slow can turn fights in your favor.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Avoid roaming as you're most effective in lane with your poke and zone control.
- Focus on maintaining vision control and supporting your ADC rather than leaving lane, as your immobility makes roams risky.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste mana on Q poke without follow-up potential as you'll run out of resources quickly.
- Avoid positioning where Bard can Q stun you through walls or minions, as it sets up easy Caitlyn headshot trades.
