Guide to Synergizing Nautilus and Caitlyn

Tips for Playing as Nautilus with Caitlyn

While ganking, consider aiming Dredge Line at nearby terrain and following it up with Riptide for a higher hit rate.

Riptide has a delayed blast timing on activation - you can use this while running away or when enemies are incoming to serve as a deterrent.

Advice to Understand How Caitlyn Will Play

Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.

Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.

Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.

Overall, Nautilus sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Caitlyn. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Caitlyn.

Is Nautilus better when played alongside Caitlyn?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Nautilus that will always be his top ally. However, Caitlyn is a not very good ally for Nautilus. By locking into the same team as Nautilus, she lowers their win rate by -1.8% to 47.0%. This demonstrates that there is a bad strategic relationship between Nautilus and Caitlyn that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Caitlyn has a lower difficulty than Nautilus. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Caitlyn allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing on the same side, Nautilus players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Although, by aligning Nautilus and Caitlyn together, you will not be giving your other allies a lot of magic damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Caitlyn teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
