Read from Miss Fortune's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Caitlyn.
This is Miss Fortune's own plan; across 34,656 pooled games the lane is leaning Miss Fortune.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Caitlyn | Level 1 is Caitlyn's because her auto range and Q out-poke your Double Up. |
| Level 2 | Caitlyn | Level 2 stays Caitlyn's as her trap placements deny your walk-ups. |
| Level 3 | Caitlyn | Level 3 favours Caitlyn since she cages you against the wave for headshots. |
| Levels 4-5 | Caitlyn | Levels 4-5 are Caitlyn's with range zoning keeping you off farm. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is a skill window as Bullet Time out-damages her single-target R pattern. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even — your crit spike trades against her lethal Q poke timing. |
| Two+ items | Caitlyn | 2+ items returns to Caitlyn via superior teamfight range and R picks. |
Levels 1-2 favour Caitlyn: her range and Piltover Peacemaker out-poke your Double Up, and her traps deny you safe walk-ups. Focus on safe CS, dodge Q, and never last-hit standing on a trap. Give up the outside minions and take the safe ones rather than trading into her range. Bounce Double Up through the wave for chip you do not have to walk for. Save Make It Rain for the moment her net is spent, since a slowed Caitlyn is one your support can finally reach.
