This is my guide on Caitlyn, she is a highly underestimated champion which people need to reconsider looking at, if you like champions such as



This guide will be very helpful to all new beginners to the game also to the Veterans LoL players out there so i hope you enjoy this!

Caitlyn quickly gained notoriety, both because she was singlehandedly defeating crime in Piltover and also because she soon developed into a ravishing beauty. She never backed down from a case or a challenge, and she was one of the sharpest shots in the city-state. Her services were soon requested by Demacia to help track down a mysterious outlaw who had begun committing high-profile heists. The bandit, who always left a card with an ornate "C" at the scene of the crime, became Caitlyn's arch-nemesis. To this day, Caitlyn still searches for this cat burglar, and the chase has led her all across Valoran. She has joined the League to hone her skills and gain the influence necessary to track down the only quarry that has managed to evade her.

- Has a "Warding" Ability called
Yordle Snap Trap saving you gold!

- An Amazing Farmer of Gold/XP due to her
Piltover Peacemaker ability
Con's
- Low HP so can potentially die quickly
- Items can be "costly"
- Tanks can be potentially a problem
- Mana can be issue IF constantly used!
- Weak Jungler early in the game
- High Armour Champions can cause major problems !
The masteries follow 26-0-4 pretty straight forward, you can read the mastery abilities to gain more knowledge, however this basic format is to give a vey nice Attacking Speed, Attacking Damage and Life Steal, with the combonation of Armour and Magic Penetration this is a very valuable Mastery Tree. The 4 on Utility allow you to get into battle ASAP since you need to be able to



Greater Mark of Attack Speed x9 -- This gives a very nice Attack Speed %
Greater Seal of Critical Chance x9 -- This gives you a very nice Critical Chance %
Greater Glyph of Critical Damage x9 -- This gives you a very nice Critical Damage %
Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed x3 -- This Heavily increases your Attack Speed %
Thats what they basically do, I mainly chose this for Caitlyn since it allows you to hit MORE with the higher Attack Speed % given from both the


TIP ---> If you believe you may be too weak after the first 2-5 matches you can change the






However, i recommend these!
SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE


SPACE SPACE SPACE SPACE


Out the four above i highly Recommend using









Now for the last little part on what Summoner Spells you should take, these are the 4 i would strongly recommend using but dont use two similar spells together unless, you feel its necessary, such as












Headshot this ability will initiate every 8 / 7 / 6 attacks (attacks while in brush count as 2), Caitlyn will fire a headshot, dealing either 150% damage to a champion or 250% damage to a minion.
Piltover Peacemaker Caitlyn revs up her rifle for 1 second to unleash a penetrating shot which deals physical damage to targets in a line, it deals 15% less damage to subsequent targets, down to a minimum of 40% damage.
Yordle Snap Trap Caitlyn sets up to three traps which trigger on champions. When sprung, the trap immobilizes the champion, deals magic damage over 1.5 seconds and reveals the target for 9 seconds. Traps last 4 minutes.
90 Caliber Net Caitlyn fires a heavy net to slow down her target by 50% and deal magic damage. The recoil knocks Caitlyn back.
Ace in the Hole 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. It provides vision of the target for the duration.
This is a quick overview on her abilities and what they do, as you can see her




A nice tip with your

Skill Sequence Follows
The main reasoning for this ability sequence to be as offensive as possible as well to allow you to farm your XP and GOLD as fast as possible, one main change you could do to help Ranked Games would change the Skill Sequence to the following one.
This quick switch to change the 4th Ability to



Also i will write within here some changes to BOTH of the item build's which may be used if you would like to "trade" and item for another to gain a potential benefit.
Okay so from here this is what i recommend you buying as your item build:
Now this has been thought through and not just slammed together for a hopefully a good build, this has been chosen to benefit you as chaser to be able to "Chase" you enemy champion if they decide to flee. The first item to obtain is








So from this i will show the finished build which will look like this.
Berserker's Greaves
Phantom Dancer
Bloodthirster
Phantom Dancer
Infinity Edge
Frozen Mallet or instead pick --->
Bloodthirster or --->
Infinity Edge
This will potentially compliment you more in team fight's if choose to change the last item to either a AD item, it will deal more damage to your opponent however you'll be left with less health and you wont gain the decreased movement speed ability from the


Lets talk about her Abilitie's first, Caitlyn has a very nice Passive Ability called

Her second Ability which is very nice is her

From here comes your items, ill put these within the list and a description of what the item gives you.
Berserker's Greaves - The ability gained is small but allows you a +2 movement Speed, not a massive ability gain however it allows you to chase your opponent easily.
Bloodthirster - Appart from the nice AD and LS you gain, it has a very nice passive which does the following, gain +1 Damage and additional +0.25% Life Steal, this can stack up to 20 Damage and 10% Lifesteal, this is a very nice passive since it's giving you additional damage and lifesteal making you into a machine killer.
Frozen Mallet - This passive ability grants you a nice -40% Movement speed when you attack your opponent, this allows you to easily chase your enemy champion.
So heres the Ability and Item passive unique abilities you will gain.
- Weaken a 2-3 out of 7-9 minions
- Use
Piltover Peacemaker and line it up through as many minions as possible and including the near killed ones you have weakened
- Repeat till satisfied with GOLD and XP intake
This is pretty simple to do.
You CAN also Killsteal however i will not justify the needs on how to kill steal your allies kills since i believe this is wrong since your taking away there hard work. So please DO NOT DO THIS ! ! !




This is only a suggestion/possibility which could be further thought on and placed through trialing, through changing items to suit the constant movement and damage need.
-- COMMENT BELOW FOR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS --


- You should mainly concentrate using your basic attacks to "harass" the enemy champion, when you believe low enough HP start to use your abilitie's to finish the kill.
- Farm your XP as fast as POSSIBLE! you have to remember you are a Carry, so you need to gain levels faster than you opponent and gain items quicker to become stronger or as noob's call it "OP (Over-Powered)"
- You should assist the middle lane when its needed, if more than one champion hits that lane, you should be there before anyone.
- In Duo lanes, make sure your the last out of your pair to goto base, to gain items, this will allow you that extra few seconds (potentially minute) in gaining more XP than your partner. The help of
Teleport will allow you to get back in lane faster than your partner.
- When solo and fighting the enemy champion make sure you have a up too the
Bloodthirster within the guide or second item build, this will allow you to gain the kill 9/10 times, since the high AS and AD aid your LS gaining more HP making you into a Machine Killer.
- Finally, if you prefer top lane than bottom lane, use the long grass in between both sides as an "assassination" location, (its located in the middle section followed up by the river)
These are my tips and how you should work as a team player and as an agressive solo fighter, if anyone would like to consider any more i will gladly read and think about putting it in =)

Caitlyn will become an "machine gun" with such a high attack speed from the
Phantom Dancer x2 and
Berserker's Greaves you will buy.
Caitlyn is very good farmer for XP and Gold (when used correctly)
Caitlyn has potential to become a great Assassin, if people trialed it.
Caitlyn is an amazing ranged carry, and i believe in the top 3 strongest carrie's
Caitlyn is just a pure BEAST and enjoyment to play with
Caitlyn is very versatile, and isn't just set to a heavy AD build or Build like mine, she can be built in more way's which will benefit you the player when playing as her!
