Maokai vs Soraka

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control side brush with saplings to deny Soraka's vision and create engage angles.
Use (W) root to lock down targets for your ADC's follow-up damage.
Focus engage around brush and river choke points to maximize (R) impact and objective setup.

Trading pattern

Stack saplings in brush to threaten Soraka's ADC and force them out of position.
Engage only when (W) is ready and ADC can immediately follow up to punish Soraka's low mobility.
Hold (R) for river or objective fights, avoid engaging in open lane where it’s easy to dodge.

Danger windows

Respect (E) silence which can stop your engage combos and root follow-ups.
Avoid face-checking brush without saplings to prevent losing engage advantage.
Be cautious when Soraka's ADC steps near saplings without your (W) ready, as they can escape or trade back.

Early game

Win level 2 by combining (W) root and (Q) knockback with ADC follow-up for strong trades.
Prioritize brush control early to prevent Soraka from safely healing and silencing your engage.
Coordinate with ADC to crash wave quickly before roaming or setting river vision.

Power spikes

Level 2: (W)+(Q) combo enables strong all-in with ADC follow-up, contest wave accordingly.
Level 3: Full sapling control enhances brush dominance and poke pressure.
Level 6: (R) ultimate empowers engage or peel around river chokes and dragon setups.

Win conditions

Deny Soraka's ADC access by rooting overextended targets and controlling vision brush.
Use (R) layered through river during dragon fights to force favorable teamfight entries.
Roam after crashing wave with ADC safe, placing deep vision to punish Soraka's limited mobility.

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