Playing as Caitlyn

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Put your traps in their path

    Place Yordle Snap Trap (W) in brushes and in their path: a champion who steps on one is rooted, and revealed to you for 3 seconds.

  2. Net and trap for your headshots

    Chain 90 Caliber Net (E) and Yordle Snap Trap (W) under the slowed target: each champion netted or trapped grants you a double-range Headshot (passive).

  3. Fire your Q at a trapped target

    Fire Piltover Peacemaker (Q) at a champion caught in your trap: they take full damage, even if the shot passed through a minion first.

  4. Save your R to finish

    Save Ace in the Hole (R) to finish a low-health target that's fleeing: another enemy champion can block the shot, so fire when no one is covering them.

Playing against Ashe

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take short trades: each auto slows you with Frost Shot (passive), and her autos deal more damage to slowed targets.

  2. Back off during her Focus

    Back off when she activates Ranger's Focus (Q): for a few seconds, her attack speed rises and each auto becomes a flurry of arrows.

  3. Punish her lack of mobility

    If you can engage, go for her when her support drifts away: her kit has no dash, only slows.

  4. Dodge her long-range arrow

    Prioritize dodging Enchanted Crystal Arrow (R) fired from far away: the farther the arrow has traveled, the longer the stun.
