Maokai Matchups Overview

Maokai General information

Maokai tips and tricks

Maokai’s Ultimate Nature's GraspR is great in team fights. Once you engage with your Ultimate Nature's GraspR, fall back and protect your carries.

Place down as many Saplings Sapling TossE as possible before your first camp spawns. Place them in a bush when possible.

Your goal in the early game is to gank as much as you can with your point and click CC Twisted AdvanceW. Try and get your allies ahead from the get-go.
