A level-by-level game plan for Caitlyn vs Draven.
Hand-writtenLevels 1-2
Caitlyn has the longest auto-attack range in the game — use it from level 1.
- Auto Draven whenever he goes for CS; he has to walk into your range to farm, which you can punish for free.
- Avoid trading axes with Draven directly — his early damage is high if he catches a Spinning Axe cleanly.
Levels 3-5
Your range and trap (W) advantage should be building a real lead here.
- Place Yordle Traps in brush and common engage paths to punish Draven's support engaging on you.
- If Draven catches his Spinning Axes and starts a fight, disengage with Piltover Peacemaker (Q) rather than trading autos.
Level 6
Neither ultimate is a huge lane-defining spike, but positioning stakes go up.
- Ace in the Hole threatens executes across the map — Draven's team may play around that in skirmishes.
- Draven's Whirling Death punishes you for standing still; keep kiting even during 'safe' trades.
Levels 7-11
If you're ahead, this is where the lead should snowball hard.
- Push Draven off caught axes with well-timed traps and Net (E) to zone him away from his stacks.
- Losing Frenzied Axe stacks resets Draven's damage scaling — a good zone here can single-handedly win the lane.
Levels 12-15
Crit item spikes on both sides make skirmishes swingy.
- Your range advantage still lets you kite Draven in extended fights — never let him walk up for free autos.
- If Draven is fed, avoid short-trading him entirely and play for picks with traps and Net-Q instead.
Level 16+
Positioning and execute range decide most fights from here.
- Use Ace in the Hole to finish off low-HP targets across the map rather than committing it early.
- A fed Draven can one-shot you if he closes the gap — keep max range and never get flanked.
