Who Wins
- Pre-6 you have range advantage and superior poke damage output compared to Lux.
- Post-6 you lose if Lux lands Q due to her burst potential combined with Caitlyn's damage.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q through minions to poke both enemies simultaneously, then follow with W when they're slowed by Ashe.
- Save E for Lux's Q attempts or when enemies engage aggressively.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Yes, roam after shoving waves with Q, especially to mid lane around levels 6-9 when your damage is highest.
- Look for roams when Ashe has R available for cross-map plays.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E defensively against Caitlyn poke - save it for Lux's binding attempts.
- Avoid using Q on minions when enemies can engage, as you lose your main trading tool.
