Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover, is known for her sharpshooting skills and relentless pursuit of justice. With her trusty rifle, she keeps the streets of Piltover safe from criminals and wrongdoers. However, even the most dedicated law enforcer needs a change of attire every now and then. Enter Lunar Wraith Caitlyn, a skin that brings a touch of mystique and elegance to Caitlyn's already formidable presence.
Lunar Wraith Caitlyn is a skin inspired by the mystical creatures that roam the spirit realm during the Lunar Revel. With her flowing robes, ethereal blue glow, and intricate headdress, Caitlyn transforms into a lunar wraith, ready to dispense justice under the moonlight. The skin features new animations, particles, and sound effects, immersing players in the enchanting world of the Lunar Revel.
One of the standout features of Lunar Wraith Caitlyn is her beautifully designed headdress. Adorned with feathers and intricate patterns, it adds an air of mystery and elegance to her appearance. The headdress also changes color depending on Caitlyn's current attack range, providing a visual cue for players to gauge their distance from enemies.
In addition to the headdress, Lunar Wraith Caitlyn's rifle receives a stunning makeover. It now emits a ghostly blue glow, matching the ethereal theme of the skin. The particles for her abilities, such as her Piltover Peacemaker (Q) and Ace in the Hole (R), also receive a lunar makeover, leaving a trail of magical energy in their wake.
When it comes to animations, Lunar Wraith Caitlyn does not disappoint. Her recall animation showcases her summoning a portal to the spirit realm, stepping through it, and reappearing with a flourish. Her auto-attacks also feature new animations, with her rifle glowing and leaving behind a trail of blue energy as she fires at her enemies.
Now that we've explored the details of Lunar Wraith Caitlyn, let's delve into the story of Caitlyn herself. As the Sheriff of Piltover, Caitlyn is a relentless pursuer of justice. Armed with her trusty rifle, she patrols the streets of Piltover, ensuring that criminals are brought to justice. Caitlyn's past is shrouded in mystery, but it is believed that she was orphaned at a young age and taken in by the prestigious Sheriff of Piltover, who trained her in the ways of law enforcement.
In the game, Caitlyn is primarily played as a marksman in the bot lane. Her long-range abilities and high burst damage make her a formidable opponent. Her passive ability, Headshot, allows her to deal bonus damage every few auto-attacks, making her a threat to squishy targets. Her Q ability, Piltover Peacemaker, fires a skillshot that deals damage to all enemies in its path. Her W ability, Yordle Snap Trap, sets up traps that reveal and immobilize enemies who step on them. Her E ability, 90 Caliber Net, allows her to dash away from enemies while dealing damage and slowing them. Finally, her ultimate ability, Ace in the Hole, allows her to take aim at an enemy from a long distance and fire a powerful shot that deals massive damage.
Caitlyn's strengths lie in her ability to poke enemies from a safe distance and her ability to set up traps to control the battlefield. Her long attack range allows her to harass enemies in the laning phase, making it difficult for them to farm. Her traps provide vision and crowd control, allowing her to catch enemies off guard and secure kills. Additionally, her ultimate ability can be used to finish off low-health enemies who are trying to escape.
However, Caitlyn also has her weaknesses. She is relatively immobile compared to other marksmen, making her vulnerable to champions with high mobility or gap-closers. Her abilities also have long cooldowns, so she needs to be mindful of when to use them. Finally, Caitlyn's damage output is heavily reliant on her ability to land skillshots, so players need to have good accuracy to maximize her potential.
Overall, Caitlyn is a versatile marksman who excels at long-range poke and controlling the battlefield with her traps. With her Lunar Wraith Caitlyn skin, players can experience a new level of elegance and mystique as they dispense justice under the moonlight.

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.
Ally tips:
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.
Enemy tips:
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.
