Grandmaster Guide on How to Play Caitlyn - xFSN Saber

[@sovasproductions7184]

Thank you so much Saber for going into this much detail! Good Caitlyn guides are few and far between and going into length (even unintentionally) just helps me learn that much more about this champ 😄

[@Scarecrohh]

Saber you're a legend! I'm currently in the process of getting back into League again and was having trouble with Caitlyn this season. I used your guide back then in S11 which got me from Gold to Diamond, so now as if on queue, here you are to save another one of my seasons. Great video my man!

[@QuackersExpress]

I just recently started watching you since you’re great at Caitlyn and now you release this? Perfect timing haha love your vids

[@tondooza6386]

Insane guide I have played cait since I started playing league but whenever I watch you anywhere I learn something new its crazy. Big Love

[@K_TPC]

That is your best guide bud. Great work. Happy to have my caitlyn's guide done like this, very indepth. You always deliver. Cheers

[@Shobu55]

Amazing video summing everything up so neatly. I used to OTP Caitlyn during season 2020 and 2021 and man I loved the switch to lethality and just oneshotting enemies. Glad this is still possible now, it's the best way to play Cait. Would love to see a Unranked to Master/GM/Chall video series by you.

[@HenniDeChecker]

Awesome guide as always. Thinks I noticed though are that you didn't cover that trap has windup time (can't trap on trap) and the ability to hop over walls with net. But it's nice to see the explanation about the runes and build, so everything comes together in my head now

[@lmfaopeter]

watched the whole thing, i found it soooooo informative so thank you so much! now i feel more confident in playing caitlyn a lot better while building her differently than crit cait

[@Shobu55]

51:52 We build a wall and let the enemies pay for it, I see... :D

[@1samsnow1]

thank you for your content it was so helpful and I didnt know about that many caitlyn mechanics

[@R41D]

I actually learned MULTIPLE things. thank you for the video

[@skeletusrex3109]

I’ll need to watch this a million times to learn everything 😭

[@marchizzle2152]

Man Insane guide , starting with the runes , its insane how fast you can clear waves using the minion thing for the mage. Also the Item build tips for traps combos really insane , tried it out and its actually so much fun. Especially late game when you go for headshots its crazy damage. Thanks man 🙏 One thing I would say as a viewer: have the video more organized , like what you want to explain and all the details , it kinda felt like freestyle. I think for new players to league would be a bit confusing . But all in all really good guide , appreciate it.

[@ThePierrotman]

Love it bro. I can't stop smiling and enjoying the way you're talking, rushing and behaving !!

[@tobe934]

The runes and itemisation guide is huge. I just builded her with the crit build in the past. But this alternative runes in combination with the items are great. I tested it and it feels actually so good. Greetings from Germany ☺️

[@antonknirenko2899]

Best Caitlyn guide I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much!❤

[@KillahBounce23]

I love Caityln. She was my first ADC ever. I was bad. Nowadays I can play her better and actually your guides helped me a lot. I have to say I miss the time where Crit Caitlyn was the way to go but the one-shot Caitlyn with lethality and First strike are so fun to play. I have to practice the mechanics you tought in this video to get them properly in a game. Do you always get them correctly in a game? I also would appreciate time stamps to jump tp the sections I need to practice.

[@xFSNSaber]

They should be muscle memory for me and if I mess it up in game I go to practice tool to fix it

[@Gigan72YT]

definitely the video with the most compelling case for lethality caitlyn, will have to try it out love educational content like this, keep it up!

[@harstar12345]

When firststrike came out, I was like oh shit, perfect cait rune. I was called a moron and that I didn't understand the game. I'm so glad to have been justified (it used or be stronger, too)

[@The_Bomb_Devil]

Picking caitlyn back up after watching this video. After a few games a dropped a 25 kill game with 70k damage lol. Thanks for sharing with us the min/max of this strategy. Makes cait feel a lot better to play than her normal tempo/dps setups.

[@AckkST]

Thanks for the guide Those net combos are mindblowing. According to stat sites most ppl are going fleet sr ie ... what do you Think is the Pro of that build? Substain maybe?

[@xFSNSaber]

You can try it but I think it's pretty unsatisfying to play

[@af_125]

i hit d4 again with 56% cait wr (75 ish games) with the fleet build. i tried the ghostblade with first strike build earlier in the season but seems i was playing it very wrong after seeing this video if your playstyle is lane sustain and decent dps, then fleet/crit is decent. though personally i am against stormrazor and get shiv instead, for the waveclear. been hitting 8-9 cs per minute regularly. this way you can hit the real powerspike items, IE and LDR, since they've just buffed it not very long ag.

[@af_125]

the healing from fleet is so useful as well when you are kiting away. people flash to finish you off then you just auto and heal back enough to survive I'm still itching to get back home and try ghostblade build with what I've learnt from the video

[@af_125]

@@xFSNSaber Updating you now I just hit D3 using the crazy lethality build. I was practicing what i learnt from this video in flexq games with some friends and it is really op as a build. You never really lose the game and you'll usually do one of the most damages in the game. This feels a lot more powerful than the fleet build but does not play like a traditional ADC, you need to charge your headshot and oneshot some unsuspecting squishies to get value from it Thanks for sharing this! My only problem is now I feel a little elo inflated :-)

[@pallidknight5794]

the w timing for ew combo i hit is right after i heard the net sound coming out,not fastest maybe but is guaranteed everytime

[@Zhodiarc]

I missed you so much We all missed you so much Never leave us again saber, you're the older brother we all need

[@snowthread3938]

damn

[@peekays]

I had the item build down but just went fleet and never considered first strike/minion demat, this is perfect

[@DeViceCrimsin_]

Been playing Cait on and off since patch 4.20 (ya, ik haha) and still learn things from this. Thanks bro!

[@nassoskafentzis7049]

Man I would be lost without saber bro

[@lilcbeats1995]

I was just thinking you should make a new one! Perfect timing. Enjoying the uploads!

[@Temporal_garbage_man]

How viable do you think Caitlyn is into more tanky comps, and would you use this lethality build then as well or opt for a full crit build? I think this is an important question since in lower elo's often you won't be able to pick Cait depending on the enemies team comp. Also, a while ago Shiv > IE > Zeal item was a thing but now shiv has gotten more expensive what do you think about Kraken > IE > Zeal into tanky comps and Stormrazor first into squishy comps? And where in this item pathing would you add LDR vs ultra tanky comps (top, jg, supp)?

[@xFSNSaber]

Into more tanky comps you don't want to pick Caitlyn unfortunately, there is no build that will allow you to pressure Frontline unless you are fed it's not like kog for example

[@xFSNSaber]

Kraken is fun but I don't think it's very good, stats say it's the worst first item for her. Sr is ok but id rather just ghostblade at that point

[@Temporal_garbage_man]

@@xFSNSaber Thanks for the reply! First picking Cait maybe isn't as good as it used to be then. Keep up the good work, love your content man ❤️

[@mistaraa_]

thank you for this guide, i learned so much as a new player! would you consider making a guide like this for jinx?

[@rubengrothwinkel8503]

rly liked to see this. Thank you!

[@cloudwalker9572]

We need to see you do that flash cancel on an enemy tank to one shot them. It is so sick of a combo. Like headshot, e, flash, w, headshot,q, headshot, ult and melt something people think Caitlyn can't kill.

[@HawKer575]

Hey saber, thank you. I've been trying HoB lately, and it's insanely good ! The pressure in lane is just crushing, and it helps going for HS during fight caught off guard, when I don't have HS ready. What do you think about it ?

[@StritForce]

Blow my mind, i wacth every guide was you create and again learn some new, i miss autocancel Caitlyn but letality is a crazy dog.

[@squeakernelson2245]

Thank you so much for the guide! Would love to see a guide for Kaisa, especially with this seasons new items. oogabooga

[@alexithymia6288]

I don't think I heard the mention of the 3-second immunity per target before they can be trapped again, though do correct me if I'm mistaken. I've mained Cait for a while, but these interactions are awesome and it's clear to see why I'm still gold playing how I've been playing. TYSM

[@xFSNSaber]

If they move half a step there is no immunity, plus you can trap into lux bind into trap again so im not sure if the immunity really works. It only works if they stand still after trap and you put another trap at their feet, which has pretty much never happened in a game before

[@aimihystelia6212]

thank for the guide saber! loved it

[@Orbalisk]

Fantastic guide!

[@yusun1688]

This video was gold! 🥇

[@ahmedakmal9244]

this was really good! and to show my friends how complex Cait is, thanks a lot for the video, I enjoyed it a ton and had really too much info haha (this is a hate comment /s oogabooga)

[@padrepio5887]

I am watching this on repeat, still trying to understand where that trap at min 26 came from... I love your videos, thanks!

[@Solstice-ut4wb]

0.25x speed and look at his mouse. Hope this helps

[@sentinel2318]

thank you saber!!!

[@van_boo]

When i was learning timing for ew combo i just double tap w 😮 100% working for me. Tnx for the gude mr. Saber mush appreciate it ❤

[@ShadowHider4]

Awesome video Saber!

[@riseagain613]

i'll give it a try. thanks for this.

[@salamiman223]

oogaboogaaaaa. love the info here saber

[@khadinho7907]

Hey Saber, big fan, can u a make a small video why caitlyn is pick or ban these days? she is really strong from my opinion, so fun to play.

[@hadizahedi5651]

its finally here!

[@math2085]

I'm happy to see the caitlyn content :) Thnx saber

[@tekacc8979]

Super strong, LOL can't belive the passive damage

[@SnapofTruth]

Great guide Saber, i finaly have some succes as cait, do u think this build can be played on mid lane? :)

[@xFSNSaber]

yes it actually can

[@bresanda]

35:54 i maybe have an explanation for this. this "bug" is the norm for me because my fingers just are not fast enough for that combo. i cant press E>flash>Q fast enough without getting the "delayed" E>flash, which is just so much worse, so instead what i do is E>Q>flash within the cast time of E so i get what you called a "fast" E>flash. This way just works better for my fingers and i can pull it off reliably. Now the compromise: When you do the combo that way, your Q is always gonna come out from where you flashed (because you pressed Q before you flashed, so normal E>Q mechanics apply). So maybe thats what happened here? meaning the Q didnt come out from where you ended up after the E>flash but rather it came out from where you were before you flashed, which is your examples just happend to be the same place. I could be completely off here but even then i felt it might still be valuable for anyone who struggles with that combo just like i do

[@rasmusengstrom8983]

Homie, just go into practice tool and spend some time. If Piano players can learn to play Chopin you can learn to E>flash>Q. Don't assume you're inherently doomed

[@KnightAmine]

thanks

[@maximilianholzinger2463]

kudos

[@linuxerohim1758]

Omg, is a good day to be alive

[@lurom1220]

Hey Saber, I wonder, doesn't navori's increase ability's damage, like Cait's Q and R? Wonder if it could have a place in any build like this?

[@xFSNSaber]

It does but in the late game you want to focus on headshot damage and not skill shot damage, which is why ie is better

[@SusanPeter-i3i]

Nikko Way

[@Grombo38]

timestamps would be nice Mr.Saber

[@ripoff2321]

this build just work

[@willnash7907]

Unpopular opinion: I haven't been enjoying Saber's content at all recently. He's very educational and I really do love him, but it's just been messy bed all the time. Like FULL non-stop blankets in disarray and upside down pillows. I understand it's because he's committed to looking healthy, strong, and well rested while performing at the highest level, but it's just not enjoyable for me to watch. I know I'll get a lot of hate for this comment, but I truly do hope you get back to making your damn bed more, Saber. You are the GOAT and I hope you don't take this bedless.

[@julianhausen1580]

27:42 Hey sir, in the clip u trap Jhin (no setup ad gap gg) but you also fire the q in a way that it doesnt hit minions and i was like "fuck that guy is so good at cait" but you actually didnt need to do that right? You explained that q is always full dmg on trapped target right? so im assuming thats just a good habit but not actually necessary yes?

[@xFSNSaber]

Ya I'm just aiming it right at him wasn't trying to avoid minions, was just an interesting coincidence

[@brenoalonso]

great video

[@jackroper1848]

@xFSN Saber What happened to your Jinx video, you take it down?

HE'S BAAAAAAAACK

[@ritojoseblandonpinzon5203]

Just tried that build for one gamne and god the damage I was 2 shoting eveyrone with only 2items and 1 component that isnt fair and I zoned off everyone just by poking with ult and ez teamfight that shit is busted

[@kingquesoIV]

why not opportunity? instead of ghost blade. more lethality?---------------

[@Feligresa]

Without T2 boots? Youmuu's active replaces T2 boots until 3 items
