Why this duo works

The likely advantage is a coordinated engage-to-follow-up sequence: Zac can enter from long range with Elastic Slingshot(E), and Caitlyn can pre-place Yordle Snap Trap(W) at his landing point to extend the catch and add Headshot(P) damage from range.

Measured in High Elo: this duo wins 1.5pp more often than expected over 1,240 games.

Playing the duo

Zac's Elastic Slingshot(E) brings him into a fight with a knock-up, while Caitlyn can follow allied crowd control with Yordle Snap Trap(W) to immobilize the target and trigger an empowered Headshot(P).

How to play as Zac

Ping Caitlyn before a gank, then use Elastic Slingshot(E) from terrain or fog so she can pre-place a trap at the target's landing point; follow with Stretching Strikes(Q) or Let's Bounce!(R) to keep the target in her range for follow-up.

How to play as Caitlyn

When Zac charges Elastic Slingshot(E), place Yordle Snap Trap(W) at the likely landing spot or retreat path before he releases; the trap takes about a second to arm, so don't wait for a short knock-up to react. Follow the catch with Piltover Peacemaker(Q) and Headshot(P).
