How to play

General
  1. You build Lethality and play like AD caster.
  2. If an enemy team is full of tanks or bruisers, rush Serylda's Grudge or even Lord Dominik's Regards early (sometimes even #2). Black Cleaver is also an alternative. The key is to adapt to the enemy team.
Caitlyn Lethality specific
  1. You can proc Sudden Impact (if used) with your E, then auto attack.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. Keep track of your Passive! It can be used for securing cannon minions, harass enemies or score kills.
  2. You can place your traps (W) in bushes for bush control.
Riot
  1. Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.
  2. Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.
  3. Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.
