Why This Build Works:

Why This Build Works:

Infinity Edge first: Maximizes crit damage on Caitlyn's headshots - headshot crits deal massive damage

The Collector: Executes low-health targets and provides lethality + crit, synergizes with R

Lord Dominik's Regards: Giant armor penetration for tank shredding

Rapid Firecannon: Extends Caitlyn's 650 range to 800+, makes her the safest ADC in the game

Bloodthirster: Massive lifesteal and shield for sustain


Build Path Philosophy:
IE first on Caitlyn works because her headshots scale with crit damage. With First Strike generating bonus gold, you accelerate into expensive items faster. The combination of crit, lethality, and armor pen provides damage against all target types. RFC is essential on Caitlyn - it makes her range advantage even more oppressive.

Range Advantage: Use Caitlyn's 650 range to proc First Strike safely

Headshot Poke: Headshot autos trigger First Strike for bonus gold

Trap Control: W traps provide zone control and guarantee headshots

Net Positioning: Save E for escapes since you have no defensive items early

Ultimate: R executes pair perfectly with Collector threshold

Focus on CS and proc First Strike whenever possible for extra gold

Use headshot harass to dominate lane and stack First Strike gold
