Caitlyn's primary role is a dominant Marksman with the highest base attack range among botlaners. Her playstyle revolves around controlling lane territory and maintaining pressure through superior range.

Passive - Headshot

• Stacks from normal attacks (double stacks from bush)
• At 5 stacks (or 4 from bush), next attack deals bonus damage
• Amplified by bonus AD and critical strikes
• Best used for champion harassment

Q - Piltover Peacemaker

• Piercing shot that fans out after first target
• Subsequent targets take 60% damage
• Optimal use: Fire through minion wave towards enemy champions
• Direct hits deal full damage

W - Yordle Trap

• Snares enemies for 1.5 seconds
• Reveals invisible champions for 3 seconds
• Grants headshot with 150 extra range (800 total)
• 1.1-second arming time
• Strategic placement crucial for lane control

E - 90 Caliber Net

• Fires net forward, pushes Caitlyn backward
• Slows hit targets by 50% for 1 second
• Grants headshot on hit target
• Limited escape tool compared to other ADCs
• Best used proactively rather than reactively

R - Ace in the Hole

• Long-range execution ability
• Can be body-blocked by other champions
• Excellent for securing kills on low-health targets
• Range is 5x normal attack range

Skill Order Priority

1. Start Q (Piltover Peacemaker)
2. W second (Yordle Trap) for lane control
3. E third (90 Caliber Net)
4. Max Q first
5. Ultimate at 6/11/16

Core Strategy

• Maintain maximum range advantage
• Control territory with traps
• Harass enemies when they can't retaliate
• Use headshots efficiently on champions
• Combine abilities with trap CC for maximum damage

Remember: Caitlyn's strength lies in her ability to deal damage while staying safely out of enemy range. Success depends on proper positioning and trap placement.
