Caitlyn
Caitlyn is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- The bonus range from Rapid Firecannon will not have any effect during trap and net extended Headshot attacks.
- Only the ordinary 100% attack damage portion of the attack can critically strike. The bonus from Headshot is added after the critical strike is rolled.
- The full damage of Headshot applies life steal.
- 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 Headshot is a single instance of damage, thus does not trigger Amumu's Tantrum's or Warden's Mail's passives twice.
- The full damage of Headshot applies
- Attacking wards or jungle plants will still generate stacks towards Headshot but the empowered attack will not be consumed.
- The basic attack triggering Headshot can critically strike, but Headshot's damage remains unchanged if it does.
- Ability-granted Headshots are abilities that apply on-hit effects. They will not interact with effects that apply on-attack (including stacking Headshot).
- Energized, which normally stacks on-attack, has been special cased to stack on-hit for these empowered attacks.
- Runaan's Hurricane's Wind's Fury, which is normally triggered on-attack, is special cased to trigger from these empowered attacks and search targets with the increased range aswell.
- The bonus damage applies to turrets.
- Because Headshot stacks are generated on-attack, Runaan's Hurricane bolts will not generate stacks towards Headshot.
- Enemies hit while protected by a spell shield will still be considered a target for calculating damage for subsequent hits.
- Piltover Peacemaker will fire from wherever Caitlyn was at the start of the cast time.
- If Yordle Snap Traps are stacked on each other while the target is already rooted by one, the target is immune to them for:
- 2 seconds for the 2nd and 3rd trap.
- 3 seconds for the 4th and 5th trap.
- Completely immune to them after the 5th trap.
- 90 Caliber Net will be cast from wherever Caitlyn is at the end of the cast time.
- The recoil can be used to pass through terrain.
- The following will cancel Ace in the Hole's channel (mana expenditure is not compensated):
- Caitlyn is interrupted.
- The target becomes untargetable.
- Caitlyn or her target dies.
- Caitlyn uses Flash.
- Caitlyn is
- Nearsight will specifically not block the true sight from Ace in the Hole.
- The ability also goes on a 5-second cooldown if Caitlyn enters resurrection during the cast time.
- The cast time does not end prematurely but the channel will be immediately canceled the moment the cast time completes.
- If the target dies, becomes untargetable, or Caitlyn loses sight of them during the cast time, Ace in the Hole cancels but does not go on cooldown nor consumes any mana.
- If the target dies after the bullet has been fired, the shot will continue towards their corpse and may still hit other enemy champions.
- If the target becomes untargetable after the bullet has been fired, the projectile will be destroyed.
- If the target becomes
- The bullet has a sight radius of 1500 attached to it.
