As Caitlyn

Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.
Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.
Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.

Against Caitlyn

Keep behind allied minions if Caitlyn is harassing you with Piltover Peacemaker (it deals less damage with each subsequent target).
You can intercept Ace in the Hole's missile from hitting an ally if you stand in its path.
// Lore

Renowned as its finest peacekeeper, Caitlyn Kiramman 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.

Ability details
Innate: Caitlyn's basic attacks generate a stack of Count on-attack, doubled if she is within brush. At 5 stacks, or 4 while in brush, her next basic attack consumes all stacks on-attack to become a Headshot.
Headshot: Caitlyn's basic attack is empowered to have an uncancellable windup and deal 60 – 100 for 3 (based on level) (+ ) AD bonus physical damage, increased to 110% (+ ) AD against non-champions.
Enemies that step over a or are hit by can grant an additional Headshot against them at 1300 range within 1.8 seconds, without consuming stacks. Each method grants only one Headshot at a time.

Notes

  • If Caitlyn's current target becomes trapped by or 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 or also reduces her ongoing attack cooldown.
  • : 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.
  • The bonus range from Rapid Firecannon will not have any effect during and 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 or Warden's Mail passives twice.
  • 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).
  • Wind's Fury, is special cased to search targets with the increased range as well.
  • Because Headshot stacks are generated on-attack, bolts will not generate any.
  • The empowered attack will not trigger against wards.
  • Stacks will still be generated towards Headshot when attacking them.
