Unreviewed course
Caitlyn be normally played Bot and does nay currently have a reviewed Support course. Support most often needs useful engage, peel or utility while operating on low doubloons income. Treat this as a deliberate experiment, nay a standard recommendation.
A different course's gear be nay relabelled as true to course. Role income, sea chart access and starting rules can change th' whole purchase order.

Arrr, kit reference
Trick names, descriptions and numeric fields come from Riot Data Dragon. Practical reads be independently written; th' present in-battle tooltip remains authoritative.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishEvery few basic attacks, or against a target she has trapped or netted, Caitlyn will fire a headshot dealing bonus damage that scales with her critical strike chance. On trapped or netted targets, Caitlyn's Headshot attack range is doubled.
Arrr, practical readHeadshot be an automatic part o' th' kit involving damage. Track when its condition be active instead o' treating every fight th' same way.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishCaitlyn revs up her rifle for 1 second to unleash a penetrating shot that deals physical damage (deals less damage to subsequent targets).
Arrr, practical readPiltover Peacemaker contributes damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Targets after th' first aboard receive reduced damage, so th' order o' units in th' line changes th' result.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishCaitlyn sets a trap that, when sprung, reveals and immobilizes the enemy champion for 1.5 seconds, granting Caitlyn an empowered Headshot.
Arrr, practical readYordle Snap Trap creates setup or area pressure. Place it where th' foe must choose betwixt entering its space, changing course or giving up th' immediate contest.
This trick supplies sight or reveals its target. That ship's intelligence effect can matter even when damage be nay th' main reason to cast it.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishCaitlyn fires a heavy net to slow her target. The recoil knocks Caitlyn back.
Arrr, practical read90 Caliber Net be a ranged cast involving a slowing effect. Respect its line or target area, and avoid spending it when th' foe can simply step astern afore th' fit fer th' captain's eye exchange.
Th' cast changes position or access. Sailor record fer where th' champion finishes, nay only where th' trick begins.
Arrr, what it doesEnglishCaitlyn takes time to line up the perfect shot, dealing massive damage to a single target at a huge range. Enemy champions can intercept the bullet for their ally.
Arrr, practical readAce in th' Hole contributes damage. Its value changes wit' cooldown, range and target access; recognise th' setup afore moving into its effective area.
Ace in th' Hole does nay become weaker when Caitlyn fires from nigh th' ship. Distance changes whether she can set sail th' cast, but it does nay change th' shot's damage.
Th' bullet hits th' first aboard foe champion in its course. An foe can protect th' marked target by standing betwixt that target and Caitlyn.
Caitlyn must finish lining up th' shot afore it fires. Interrupting her channel or making th' target untargetable can stop th' normal hit.
Ace in th' Hole deals physical trick damage. Plated Steelcaps lend a hand through their armour, but their basic-attack reduction passive does nay reduce this ultimate. Mercury's Treads do nay directly reduce th' physical hit.
Adapt th' course
Judge th' whole course or sea chart state, nay only personal kills. Pick th' situation closest to th' present battle.
Deny space wit' yer course partner, but keep th' carry moored to th' wave instead o' roaming at every opportunity.
Move first aboard wit' an ally, establish vision and protect th' course yer crew will use to enter.
Set sail only when crewmates can follow, then change to peel if an foe reaches th' protected carry.
Hold th' trick that makes foes respect yer course and trade when both Bot-course partners be shipshape.
Recall and move on seaworthy wave timings; an unsupported roam can cost th' carry an entire wave or a dive.
Control one approach and keep enough protection fer th' foe's most likely engage.
Stay fer a crashing wave, block a dive and avoid spending th' key defensive trick on low-value poke.
Enter darkness wit' another sailor and ward th' nearest useful entrance instead o' reaching fer deep vision.
Peel first aboard and punish overextension. A blind engage rarely repairs a losing battle.
Pings, movement and prizes
Turn ship's intelligence into a shared decision. Move wit' an ally and preserve th' tool that makes th' next aboard fight seaworthy.
Pings create a shared course; they do nay replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
'Round a minute afore Dragon, ping th' course, spend doubloons if needed and make sure Bot and Mid know whether they can move.
Walk wit' th' Jungler or another ally. Sweep one course, place useful entrance vision and ne'er face-inspect alone.
Inspect nigh th' ship waves and foe positions. Hold th' spell that either starts a reachable fight or protects yer main damage dealer.
Keep enemies astern from th' seaworthy entrance, mark th' reachable threat and avoid chasing so far across th' waters that Dragon be left unprotected.
Later prizes: Use th' same pattern fer Rift Herald or Baron: communicate first aboard, move through controlled vision wit' an ally, then choose engage or peel afore th' fight begins.
Use th' chart
Compare a specific foe, return to th' champion overview, or choose another champion without losing th' queue distinction.
