Read from Caitlyn's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Miss Fortune.
This is Caitlyn's own plan; across 34,656 pooled games the lane is leaning Miss Fortune.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Caitlyn | Your 650 range out-pokes Miss Fortune's 550 auto at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Caitlyn | At level 2 she still can't trade back without walking into Headshot range. |
| Level 3 | Caitlyn | By level 3 your Q and trap threat beat her Double Up bounce trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Caitlyn | Through levels 4-5 you zone her off the wave and deny Love Tap resets. |
| Level 6 | Caitlyn | At level 6 your net and traps cancel her immobile Bullet Time channel. |
| First item | Caitlyn | With first item your trap-net burst out-damages her and you kite Make It Rain. |
| Two+ items | Caitlyn | At 2+ items your range and CC keep her from ever free-firing Bullet Time. |
You win levels 1-2 comfortably: your 650 range beats her 550 auto and her Double Up can't reach you cleanly, so poke every time she creeps up to last-hit and set your brush trap early. Double Up only travels if a minion or your support sits on the line between you, so break that geometry and the poke disappears. Love Tap pays her for a target that holds still, so keep drifting between last-hits. A trap in the brush she struts through turns the speed into a liability.
