Based on 7 recent matches analyzed, Caitlyn wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Azir's 42.9%, giving Caitlyn a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Azir controls the early laning stage, but Caitlyn outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Azir needs to press advantages before Caitlyn reaches their power spikes, while Caitlyn should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints.
