Introduction


Caitlyn is one of my favourite champion. I really like her 'cause of her range attack and 'cause of the really high damages in mid game.
This is my personal build of Caitlyn, I hope you like it.

p.s. Uh, I am a girl <3

Runes & Summoner Spells

With Caitlyn I use armor penetrations and mana regen runes.

Greater Mark of DesolationMark = armor penetration
Greater Quintessence of DesolationQuintessence = armor penetration
Glyph = mana regen per lvl
Seal = mana regen per lvl

You need mana regen if you want to use Piltover Peacemaker without losing too much mana.
With armor penetration you can do more damages in early game.

The summoner spells I use with her are Ghost and Ignite.
Ghost to run away after used 90 Caliber Net and Ignite if my ultimate is in cooldown (or if a player is really lucky).
You can use Flash instead of Ghost, Teleport or Exhaust instead of Ignite.

Items & GamePlay

I play Caitlyn with armor penetrations and critical items.
First i buy a Doran's Blade. Then I recall only to buy a B.F. Sword. You need to farm by last hitting minions. Don't push, Caitlyn is a good target in early game.
You just need to make money.
If you are mid, push minions and then go farm in your jungle killing Wolf or Ghosts, then go again in your lane waiting for the minions under your turret. By doing this you will be able to farm more then your enemies or your allies.
After buying a B.F. Sword you need Berserker's Greaves. Then buy Zeal and another B.F. Sword. You don't need Phantom Dancer for now, you need to have a high movement speed, a small chance to critical and more physical attack.
Buy a Black Cleaver then go for a Last Whisper. End the Phantom Dancer and finish your build with a Frozen Mallet.


When you play Caitlyn you don't need to be aggressive. Just follow your team and attack enemies from distance. When someone try to hit you, just use 90 Caliber Net, being sure that the net stops the enemy, to escape from him.
Use Yordle Snap Trap when someone try to run away from you by putting the trap in front of him (same use as the ultimate of kog'maw).
If you have a lot of mana regen, use always your first spell, Piltover Peacemaker to lower the opponent's health. Then hit him with your physical attack and if he runes away with low health, use your ultimate, Ace in the Hole.
