Maokai vs Lux

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control side brush with saplings to deny Lux's poke and enable safe ADC follow-up.
Use (W) root from fog for engage windows when ADC can immediately capitalize.
Layer (R) through river choke points to start or counter objective fights and control vision.

Trading pattern

Stack saplings in brush to threaten Lux's ADC and force them back from the wave.
Hold (W) engage until enemy oversteps or Lux wastes (Q), then lock down for ADC follow-up.
Use (Q) knockback to keep enemies in ADC range and peel when Lux attempts all-in.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) root range and avoid overextending into brush without sapling vision.
Beware (R) ultimate damage in all-ins; avoid grouped fights in open river areas.
Lux's ADC follow-up after (Q) root creates high burst windows; hold peel cooldowns accordingly.

Early game

Win level 2 by combining (W) root and (Q) knockback with ADC follow-up for strong trades.
Prioritize brush control early to restrict (Q) root angles and ADC poke access.
Crash wave safely before roaming to maintain ADC safety and pressure Lux's lane presence.

Power spikes

Level 2: (W)+(Q) combo opens strong engage windows with ADC follow-up, forcing Lux to respect.
Level 3: Full sapling control grants brush dominance, enabling safer engages and vision denial.
Level 6: (R) enhances engage and peel, critical for river fights and dragon setups.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied Lux ADC positioning and forced retreats.
Use (R) to initiate or counter-engage around dragon and river objectives with ADC ready.
Roam post-wave crash with vision control to pressure mid and secure favorable 2v2 resets.

Tip: For Maokai vs Lux, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
