Caitlyn is a kit added in the February 17, 2023 update. She could be obtained by reaching level 50 in the Season 7 Battle Pass. Her special ability is Dark Decay. She is in the Fighter class fighter class.

Movement class Abilities[]

Dark Decay[]

Caitlyn's attacks are imbued with decay that damages enemies over time, dealing 2 damage per second for 3 seconds. Hitting decayed enemies multiple times will increase the strength of the decay by 25% per hit, dealing up to double the base decay damage at 4 total hits. The decay can be upgraded to deal more damage per tick, last longer, and have special effects against decaying enemies and targets.

Contracts[]

Caitlyn can press the R key to open her up contracts menu which shows the statistics of her Dark Decay's duration, damage, and other bonus effects. It also displays three random players, their team color, the type of armor they are wearing, and how far away they are (in blocks). Caitlyn can then choose to target and assassinate one player to upgrade her ability's potency. Once chosen, the enemy will be highlighted in red revealing their whereabouts to Caitlyn until the target is assassinated or she rejects the contract once every minute. Enemies with higher-tiered armor will grant better upgrades. Sometimes, a special contract may appear on enemies with diamond armor or higher, which will grant Caitlyn a special effect to her decaying attacks once it is completed.

Destroyer class Upgrading[]

These upgrades are granted after completing contracts. The upgrade along with how much it is upgraded by is displayed on the contract selection screen. Upgrade percentages and random and scale up based on the target's armor and the duration of the game.

Name Upgrade Max Tier
Target Damage Caitlyn deals increased damage to her current target. 40%
Armor Penetration Affects how much of Caitlyn's decay ignores enemy armor. 100%
Damage Increases decay damage. 10
Duration Increases decay duration. 6s

Ranged class Strategy[]

At first, one might not think of Caitlyn as a very good kit due to its lackluster early game damage and competition with other kits that use kills to progress. You will need to use this kit properly in order for it to be good, but when used properly it can be a powerhouse and exceptionally strong later on in the game.

Her decay system can be upgraded over time by targeting certain players to receive buffs like decay damage, armor pen, etc. Note that you don't need to specifically kill the enemy, you just need to contribute damage to them and if another player gets the kill your contract will still be completed. So a good strategy can be to wait for your target to enter combat with another player, and then shoot them with arrows. If your target dies in combat, you will get the contract completed, but if they survive they will still likely to be low on health allowing you to swoop in and finish the job. Gloops can be handy for preventing them from running away. You should try sneak attacking if possible rather than attacking head on to take advantage of the Focus effect and deal as much damage before your target can react.

Also, if you'd rather not spend too much effort and resources on targeting a specific player, you can watch your contracts screen and wait for one of your targets to come near. The distance of your target has no effect on the rewards, so you can watch until one of the target's distances reduces to about 10-30 blocks, then choose and try to kill them.

Later on in the game, when other players start getting diamond and emerald armor, you will be able to find the Special Effects in your contracts. These effects can be powerful in helping you kill more targets and fighting in general. However, it can be a trial to defeat those players in high armor, so your best bet is to get teammates to assist you. Attack swiftly from multiple directions to prevent your target from running. The Thrill of the Hunt effect can help since you move faster towards decaying enemies, which your target is likely to be affected, so try to get that one first and then work on the other ones. Use Crossbows or Headhunters to shoot down your target if they try running away.

Fighter class Trivia[]

  • Caitlyn is similar in abilities to the Bounty Hunter, with both having contracts/bounties to fulfill for rewards.
  • If Caitlyn's target gets damaged from any source, falls in the void or dies, the red highlight will disappear instantly. This is most likely a bug.
  • Focus is the only special effect that grants Caitlyn a setback and while also being unobtainable through contracts.
  • Caitlyn is the first kit that possessed the ability to inflict Dark Decay. The second being Yamini, and the third being Hephaestus.
  • Unlike Yamini and Hephaestus, Caitlyn is the only kit that can ramp her Dark Decay damage up via hitting enemies, up to +100% more decay damage after hitting an enemy four times. Yamini and Hephaestus do not have this ability, and their decay damage is locked, and cannot increase with hits.
  • The Dark Decay effect functions similarly to the Fire Enchantment.
    • Unlike the Fire Enchantment however, it won't deal any knockback, even if its ability is active.
    • The decay armor penetration is still taken into damage calculations, further increasing dealt damage.
  • Only 1 decay damage upgrade can appear in a match. It only appears if the player hasn't completed any contracts.
    • Even then, it is not guaranteed to appear, meaning that players are likely to not get any decay damage upgrades in a game.
    • It is unknown whether this is a bug or a decision made by the developers.
  • Due to how debuff ticking is coded in BedWars, unupgraded decay deals only 2 ticks of damage despite lasting whole 3 seconds.
    • If the duration is even slightly above 3 seconds, full 3 ticks of damage will occur.
  • Only Diamond, Warrior and Emerald Armor are capable of giving Caitlyn special/legendary contracts (e.g, vulnerable, silence, etc). Armors like Void Armor and Juggernaut Armor are classified as armorless in Caitlyn's contract system. This is most likely another bug, especially with Void Armor, because that's obtainable via lucky blocks and fortune enchant. Also, kits that use alternatives to armor such as Eldertree, Hephaestus and Void Knight are still shown as armorless.
  • The player only needs to be wearing a helmet in order to be classified with that armor tier in Caitlyn's contract system. A player with an iron helmet, leather chestplate and leggings, will be classified as iron armor. A player with no helmet, but diamond chestplate and leggings, will be classified as armorless.
