Caitlyn Build
the Sheriff of Piltover
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.
Caitlyn Bot Build
The most played Caitlyn Bot build on patch 26.21 runs Lethal Tempo with Presence of Mind, Legend: Bloodline and Coup de Grace, plus Absolute Focus and Gathering Storm from the secondary tree.
