Caitlyn Wild Rift Guide, Build and Strategy

Caitlyn is a range DPS champion, who is suited to early victories and sieges over late-game slugfests. She has exceptional range and utility making her a great choice if you really want to push for a quick game.

How to Play Caitlyn

• Attacking from brush builds Headshot twice as fast
• You can use Piltover Peacemaker to clear minion waves faster
• Use Yordle Snap Trap on brush to avoid ganks
• You can use 90 Caliber Net to chase or escape from enemies
• 90 Caliber Net can also be used to dash through walls
• Use Ace in the Hole to secure kills

Skills

Passive / Headshot: Every 6 attacks fires a Headshot, dealing bonus physical damage. Trapped or netted enemies trigger a Headshot that has double range.

Skill 1 / Piltover Peacemaker: Fires a narrow piercing bullet that deals physical damage. Hitting an enemy expands the bullet, but reduces the subsequent damage by 40%.

Skill 2 / Yordle Snap Trap: Sets a trap that enemy champions can spring, immobilizing them for 1.5 seconds and revealing them for a short duration.

Skill 3 / 90 Caliber Net: Launches a net, knocking Caitlyn backwards. The net deals magic damage and slows by 50% for 1.5 seconds.

Skill 4 / Ace in the Hole: Lines up the perfect shot, revealing an enemy champion for 1.5 seconds before dealing physical damage. Enemy champions can intercept the bullet before it hits their ally.
