Playing as Caitlyn
Tips to maximize your impact
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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 Miss Fortune
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Don't stand behind low minions
Don't stay behind a low-health minion: if Double Up (Q) kills it, the bounce that hits you always crits.
- Cut her speed with a small hit
Hit her regularly, even with a small hit: Strut (W) only grants her passive move speed after a few seconds without taking damage.
- Go in if you can
If you can engage, get on top of her: Miss Fortune has no dash or leap, only the speed from Strut (W).
- Interrupt her Bullet Time
If you have CC, save it for Bullet Time (R): she channels in place, and interrupting her cancels the remaining waves.
