Miss Fortune vs Caitlyn

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Miss Fortune wins short trades by punishing Caitlyn's last-hit steps with (Q) bounce poke.
Caitlyn controls wave priority early with longer range and trap zoning, forcing MF to play around (W) and (E).
This lane turns on MF's ability to create (Q) bounce angles on low-health minions and capitalize on support CC for (R) setups.

Trading pattern

Punish Caitlyn's last-hit attempts when she stands behind low-health minions and support can't zone.
Use (E) slow to secure safer (Q) bounce angles and prevent (E) dash disengage.
Avoid trading when (E) is available or her support controls brush and can engage immediately.

Danger windows

(W) trap zones combined with support follow-up punish stepping into brush or turret edges.
Avoid trading when (E) is up, as it denies your engage and enables her escape.
Be cautious if enemy support can immediately follow trades or engage after your (Q) or (E) use.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin caster minions and force Caitlyn off CS with (Q) bounce.
At level 2, avoid stepping up if Caitlyn holds (E) for disengage; punish only if enemy support can't retaliate.
Keep wave near your side to limit Caitlyn's trap placement and reduce her safe poke windows.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R), enabling MF to convert support CC or narrow terrain into lethal damage.
First completed damage item strengthens (Q) poke, making it easier to force Caitlyn off CS and plates.
Hold (R) for fights with CC or terrain advantage; avoid raw channels vulnerable to Caitlyn's interrupts.

Win conditions

Convert (Q) poke into health leads forcing Caitlyn recalls and denying her turret plates.
Use wave pressure and (R) with support CC to control dragon fights and narrow chokepoints.
Leverage first item spike and lane pressure to secure CS leads, plates, and safer teamfight positioning.
