Playing as Maokai

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Cast spells to recharge Sap Magic

    In lane, use your spells: each spell you cast or get hit by lowers the cooldown of Sap Magic (passive), and your next auto heals you.

  2. Saplings in the brush

    Throw Sapling Toss (E) into brush: there, the sapling lasts longer, explodes wider and slows more.

  3. Dive in with Twisted Advance

    Dash to your target with Twisted Advance (W): you're untargetable during the dash, and they're rooted when you arrive.

  4. Cast your wall from long range

    Cast Nature's Grasp (R) from far away to engage or block a path: the wall moves slowly, and the root lasts longer after a long run.

Playing against Lulu

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her two bolts

    Dodge Glitterlance (Q): two bolts fly out, one from Lulu and one from Pix, and each one damages and heavily slows.

  2. Engage twice

    Engage in two steps: make her use Whimsy (W), then re-engage during its 18-second cooldown.

  3. Focus her if you can reach her

    If you can reach her, focus her in teamfights: Whimsy (W), Help, Pix! (E) and Wild Growth (R) are mostly there to protect her allies.

  4. Back off from her enlarged ally

    When Wild Growth (R) enlarges one of her allies near you, back off: anyone close to them is knocked into the air, then the aura slows them.
