Skill Leveling Order
Max order Q → W → EMax Q (Piltover Peacemaker) first for poke and clear, then W (Yordle Snap Trap), E (90 Caliber Net) last. Level R whenever available.

Playstyle
The longest base range lets her poke with Q and autos to pressure the lane. Set W (traps) and E (net) to push into them — a sprung trap into an empowered auto is her burst combo. Snowball lane control, and late game it's all about positioning.

Every few basic attacks, Caitlyn will fire a headshot dealing 150% damage to a champion or 250% damage to a minion.
Caitlyn revs up her rifle for 1 second to unleash a penetrating shot that deals physical damage (deals less damage to subsequent targets).
Caitlyn sets a trap to find sneaky yordles. When sprung, the trap immobilizes the champion, reveals them for a short duration, and deals magic damage over 1.5 seconds.
Caitlyn fires a heavy net to slow her target. The recoil knocks Caitlyn back.
Caitlyn takes time to line up the perfect shot, dealing massive damage to a single target at a huge range. Enemy champions can intercept the bullet for their ally.
Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.
- Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.
- Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.
Playing against
- Keep behind allied minions if Caitlyn is harassing you with Piltover Peacemaker (it deals less damage with each subsequent target).
- You can intercept Ace in the Hole's missile from hitting an ally if you stand in its path.
