Caitlyn
GameplayCaitlyn is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Headshot is consumed when the missile successfully hits the target.
- If Caitlyn's current target becomes trapped by Yordle Snap Trap or 90 Caliber Net while her attack is on cooldown, this ongoing cooldown will be refunded partially so that her next attack on them can begin earlier.
- Swapping the target to an enemy trapped by Yordle Snap Trap or 90 Caliber Net also reduces her ongoing attack cooldown.
- 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 : The exact attack cooldown refund appears to be 50% of the attack cooldown at current attack speed, but at a minimum amount it lets Caitlyn start the attack against the trapped target within 0.5 seconds of her previous attack windup completing.
- Swapping the target to an enemy trapped by
- 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.
- 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
- The basic attack triggering Headshot can critically strike, but Headshot's damage remains unchanged if it does.
- Since Caitlyn's Art and Sustainability Update, Ability-granted Headshots are the same as the original Headshot override attack, though what lets them cast at high range is still relatively special. They trigger on-attack effects (including stacking Headshot).
- 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 Runaan's Hurricane's Wind's Fury, is special cased to search targets with the increased range as well.
- 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓
- Because Headshot stacks are generated on-attack, Runaan's Hurricane bolts will not generate stacks towards Headshot.
- The empowered attack will not trigger against wards.
- Stacks will still be generated towards Headshot when attacking them.
- Enemies hit while protected by a spell shield will still be considered a target for calculating damage for subsequent hits.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.
- Immunity vs Airborne moveblocks and Kinematics?
- If multiple traps are placed under an enemy, they will spring one at a time.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- The recoil can be used to pass through terrain.
- If Caitlyn buffers Piltover Peacemaker during 90 Caliber Net's cast time, Piltover Peacemaker will start after the cast time.
- If Caitlyn buffers an ability or basic attack during this ability's cast time, the buffered ability or basic attack will instead start after the dash ends.
- Other abilities can be cast while dashing if they are input after the cast time.
- 90 Caliber Net's missile will fail to fire if Caitlyn is suppressed during the cast time.(bug)
- 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
- Ace in the Hole reveals the target and Caitlyn through a buff that lasts for up to 4 seconds.
- The buff is applied to the target from the start of the cast time.
- The buff ends prematurely when the channel is canceled or the bullet hits an enemy.
- The target is revealed for 1 second if the buff is ended prematurely.
- It is not removed if the cast time is cancelled or the bullet missile is destroyed.(bug)
- 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 after the bullet has been fired, the shot will continue towards their corpse and may still hit other enemy champions.
- The bullet has a sight radius of 1500 attached to it.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- This excludes losing sight of the target.
- The following table refers for interactions while Caitlyn is channeling:

Renowned as its finest peacekeeper, Caitlyn is also Piltover’s best shot at ridding the city of its elusive criminal elements. She is often paired with Vi, acting as a cool counterpoint to her partner’s more impetuous nature. Even though she carries a one-of-a-kind hextech rifle, Caitlyn’s most powerful weapon is her superior intellect, allowing her to lay elaborate traps for any lawbreakers foolish enough to operate in the City of Progress.
