How it works
General
- You build Attack Damage and Lethality to boost damage from your abilities.
- You rush Axiom Arc to reduce cooldown of your ultimate, so you can use it more often.
- You try to make the most of your First Strike procs to earn gold and deal damage.
- The easier version of this build is to take Dark Harvest instead of First Strike.
How to play
General
- This is a specialization of regular Lethality Caitlyn build that is all about big ults and ulting very often, thanks to Axiom Arc.
- Build Axiom Arc first, follow up with Mythic Item, then with Lethality/AD items.
- It is okay to not buy boots, or to sell them in the late game. Use 6th slot for more Lethality! You are covered with Ghost.
- Since 14.1 Boots become even more optional, since you can get Youmuu's Ghostblade!
- Wait for First Strike and proc it with your combo, to deal damage and earn gold.
- Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
Caitlyn Axiom Arc specific
- You can proc Sudden Impact (if used) with your E, then auto attack.
- Item order is something like: Axiom Arc -> The Collector -> ...
- If an enemy team has champions like Neeko (W clone), Wukong (W clone), Yasuo (W Windwall) or just a bunch of tanks, do not play this build, it is not going to be fun nor efficient!
- Your main snipping combo is First Strike + cast E (Sudden Impact) + R.
- While you are not snipping, feel free to use First Strike with your W + auto attack, or with Qs.
Tips and Tricks
General
- Keep track of your Passive! It can be used for securing cannon minions, harass enemies or score kills.
- You can place your traps (W) in bushes for bush control.
Riot
- Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.
- Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.
- Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.
