Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Prioritize attaching to your ADC to maximize sustain and poke while avoiding Maokai's engage angles.
Deny Maokai brush control to limit his sapling vision and reduce his engage follow-up.
Use (R) to control river chokes and protect your ADC from Maokai's ultimate engages.

Trading pattern

Stay attached and poke with (Q) to harass while healing and speeding your ADC for safe trades.
Hold (R) root for extended fights or disengage when Maokai commits (W) engage.
Deny Maokai brush to reduce his sapling control and limit his ability to lock down your ADC.

Danger windows

Respect (W) root follow-up on dashes; avoid detaching near CC cooldowns.
Beware brush saplings denying vision, increasing risk of surprise engages on your ADC.
Avoid clustering in river corridors vulnerable to (R) root and enemy ADC follow-up.

Early game

Track level 2 to avoid (W)+(Q) engage combo and only contest wave with ADC follow-up.
Hold brush vision aggressively to prevent Maokai from stacking saplings and gaining engage angles.
Keep your ADC safe during early wave crashes to maintain lane presence and avoid Maokai's root setups.

Power spikes

Level 2: Use attach sustain to outlast Maokai's initial (W)+(Q) engage threat.
Level 3: Exploit full kit poke with (Q) and (E) to pressure Maokai before sapling control is established.
Level 6: Use (R) to lock down targets through river choke points, countering Maokai's ultimate engage.

Win conditions

Convert lane sustain and poke into ADC access by enabling safe, extended trades and denying Maokai brush.
Set deep river vision to anticipate Maokai's roam and ultimate engage for dragon control.
Use (R) to initiate or peel in teamfights, maximizing your ADC's damage output and kite potential.
