Why this duo works

Lux adds ranged poke and wave pressure to Caitlyn's lane, while Light Binding(Q) can give Caitlyn a catch to follow with a trap and Headshot. That lets the duo pressure opponents under tower and punish a landed bind with layered damage.

Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 1.9pp more often than expected over 14,067 games.

Playing the duo

Use Caitlyn's Q and Lux's E to pressure the wave, then take plates when the enemy lane is zoned and it is safe to stay.

Lux's Light Binding(Q) can catch up to two enemies, and Caitlyn can follow a landed root with Yordle Snap Trap(W) and an empowered Headshot(P).

Caitlyn's long-range poke and Lux's damaging spells give the pair tools to pressure the wave and harass opponents from a distance.

How to play as Caitlyn

When Lux lands Light Binding(Q) on a target within reach, place Yordle Snap Trap(W) under them and take the empowered Headshot(P) if you can do so without walking into the enemy support.
