I've been playing Cait in mid and top against melee casters. Namely GP and Ekko, with moderate success.

Full AD, maxing CDR. Boots of Swiftness, TriForce, IE, Ghostblade, Death's Dance, Muramana. Build Tear first, then Sheen. Start with boots and health pots or short sword and pots. Armor cloth is also good to reduce creep damage because you will be harassing a lot.

The damage is ridicilous. CDR is a god given stat - you can spam your traps in teamfights. Great utility.

In lane harass when appropriate. You don't really have to worry about the enemy jungler. If they have a gap closer and you are playing mid max E first, then Q or W, whichever you feel more conmfortable with. I like to max W over Q and zone the opponent. If you are in the toplane or mid but you can harass safely and have wards all the time, max Q and drive your enemy out of the lane. At that point they will most likely ask for help so invest some points into E or W from that point.

The damage is great. You will be able to burst an enemy carry with three headshots + ultimate. Your ultimate will be chunking even the healthier enemies.

I go 9/12/0, taking bandit and 5% CDR and thubderlords.

Now, I got to ask, is TriForce better in terms of damage than say, Essencw reaver or a Duskblade. Considering the damage from geadshot increases with crit and all??
