Twitch vs Caitlyn

Confidence highUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Twitch wins by punishing Caitlyn's overextensions for CS using stealth and poison stacks.
Avoid early fair trades; Twitch scales better into extended fights and grouped teamfights.
Caitlyn controls wave priority early with range and traps; Twitch wants stable farm and stealth windows.

Trading pattern

Step forward to auto or (W) slow Caitlyn only during her last-hit animations when support is out of position.
Avoid punishing if enemy support controls brush or can immediately engage after your step forward.
Use (Q) stealth to reposition and open trades when (E) is down, denying her escape.

Danger windows

Respect (W) trap zones layered with support CC or turret edges; stepping into these invites roots.
Avoid trading when (E) is available, as it provides her a disengage and slows your follow-up.
Be cautious stepping forward if enemy support controls brush or can engage immediately after your move.

Early game

Use first three waves to farm safely and track (E) cooldown to avoid her dash.
Punish Caitlyn stepping up for caster or cannon minions only if enemy support can't punish.
Avoid walking into trap zones near turret or brush without vision; hold wave near your side.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) lets Twitch open fights from unexpected angles, punishing grouped enemies near minions or support.
First completed marksman item strengthens Twitch's all-in threat and poison burst with (E).
Two-item stealth spike turns Twitch into a potent flank threat; use vision denial to create unseen (R) angles.

Win conditions

Survive early lane and use stealth to punish Caitlyn's greedy CS or recall timings.
Convert poison stacks with (E) and open fights with (R) to secure plates and dragon control.
Use stealth flanks in teamfights to maximize piercing DPS and force Caitlyn's team to spread out.
