How to play Caitlyn


Caitlyn is a marksman who can play in the Duo Lane. Caitlyn has the highest base attack range in the game; because of this, she is one of the strongest early/mid-game marksman in the game, and when it comes to teamfights, she can play safe whilst dealing damage from far away. Yordle Snap Trap gives Caitlyn a unique way to play around towers and objectives. These traps can be used to zone enemies away from choke points and objectives, allowing her to deal damage without being threatened.

Caitlyn's Abilities


Headshot
(Passive)

Every 6 attacks fires a headshot, dealing bonus physical damage. Enemies Trapped or Netted from Yordle Snap Trap and 90 Caliber Net trigger Headshot. If Caitlyn attacks from brushes, she builds Headshot twice as fast.


There is an indicator underneath Caitlyn's mana bar that shows how many attacks you have done. Once the last bar turns red, her next attack will be a Headshot. Use the brushes to your advantage. You'll be able to threaten the enemies more often when farming from a brush.

Piltover Peacemaker
(1)

Caitlyn fires a narrow piercing bullet that deals physical damage. Hitting an enemy expands the bullet but reduces subsequent damage. Caitlyn always deals full damage to trapped or netted enemies.


Piltover Peacemaker is great when needing to push/clear minion waves. If an enemy is standing away from minions, use Piltover Peacemaker in a bush to deal full damage. When enemies step on a trap, auto-attack before using Piltover Peacemaker for the highest damage output.

Yordle Snap Trap
(2)

Caitlyn sets a trap that enemy champions can spring, immobilizing them for a second and revealing them for a short duration.


Traps are best placed in chokepoints and narrow passages for zoning control around objectives. If you tap the button, the trap will always go underneath the closest enemy champion. This is good when the enemy has already been crowd-controlled by your allies. However, when kitting away from enemies, manually using the traps underneath you is the best way to protect yourself when running away. Traps only last for 30 seconds, so don't waste them and always think ahead.

90 Caliber Net
(3)

Caitlyn launches a net, knocking her backwards. The net deals magic damage and slows for just over a second.


Use 90 Caliber Net to dodge abilities and disengage from enemies. Caitlyn can also use the Net to get over walls and terrain. If you hit 90 Caliber Net, she can combo this with Piltover Peacemaker (1st Ability) and Headshot (Passive) to get the maximum damage output.

Ace In The Hole
(Ultimate)

Caitlyn lines up the perfect shot, Revealing an enemy champion for just over a second before dealing physical damage. Ace in the Hole will do more damage to enemies that have more missing health.


It's important to know that enemy champions can intercept the bullet before it hits their ally, so timing Ace in the Hole will be crucial.

Caitlyn Build Breakdown


Hextech Stormrazor
Magnetic Blaster
Infinity Edge
Mortal Reminder
Guardian Angel
Gluttonous Greaves - Stasis

Stomrazor gives excellent stats for the early game. The movement speed & slow from the energized passive greatly benefit Caitlyn when she's auto-attacking with her long attack range.


Magnetic Blaster offers Caitlyn more attack range every few seconds. This helps you with kiting and poke with your auto-attacks and passive Headshot.


Infinity Edge is a massive power spike. It gives the most attack damage, and your critical strikes will deal more damage.


Onto the runes, we have:

Lethal Tempo

Lethal Tempo increases Caitlyn's range and the extra attack speed means Caitlyn can proc her passive Headshot more often.

Brutal

Brutal gives Caitlyn more damage with her auto attacks. With her long range, she can use this to her advantage and auto-attack often during the Laning Phase.

Coup de Grace

Coup de Grace provides additional damage that helps burst enemies when they are low on health.

Giant Slayer is another good option when playing against bruisers and Tanks that build a lot of health.

Legend: Alacrity

Alacrity gives Caitlyn more attack speed, synergizing well with her kit and build.

Bone Plating

Bone Plating is an excellent choice for surviving all-ins from enemy champions. As the carry for your team, you'll get a lot of focus from the enemies.

Flash
Ghost

Flash is a must-have Summoner Spell. Use it to dodge skillshots and escape enemies. When you have Headshot available, Flash can also be used to get into range to kill the enemy.

Ghost helps Caitlyn reposition during teamfights and gives her the space to auto attack.


Early Game


Caitlyn is one of the strongest early games champions, thanks to her high base attack range and abilities that allow her to play poke and play aggressively. To maximise her damage output, mix in auto-attacks and her abilities and take advantage when Headshot is available, which happens often when auto-attacking from brushes. Be careful when using 90 Caliber Net aggressively, as it has a very long cooldown early on, so you might get caught without a way to escape.

Late Game


In the late game, Caitlyn's primary role is to deal consistent damage from the backline. In teamfights, positioning is the most important thing. Stay behind your frontline, keeping a safe distance from assassins and bruisers. Sometimes, it's best to keep auto-attacking instead of using abilities in between since you'll have so much attack speed and damage. When enemies step on a trap, be sure to auto-attack them for the increased damage and use 90 Caliber Net to reposition and create space during fights.

Conclusion


Caitlyn is a great beginner-friendly champion to play. Her long attack range and abilities make her an easy champion to master.
