Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 trades due to Seraphine's superior poke range with Q and sustain with W, while your Q bombs are easily avoided by good positioning.
- Post-6 you gain significant kill threat with R revive allowing aggressive all-ins that Seraphine cannot match.
Synergy & Trading
- Place Q bombs on minions near Ashe to force her to choose between CS and taking damage, then follow up with Caitlyn's Q when enemies are slowed.
- Your E speed boost enables Caitlyn to reposition for optimal Q angles and escape ganks effectively.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently after level 6 since your R provides game-changing utility for skirmishes and your waveclear with Q is decent.
- Optimal roam timings are when Caitlyn has wave control and can safely farm, typically after successful recalls or when enemies back.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste your R on minor trades or poke damage as it has a massive cooldown and is your only answer to enemy all-ins.
- Avoid placing Q bombs predictably in the same spots as experienced players will easily sidestep them.
