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 Seraphine

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her Beat Drop

    Dodge Beat Drop (E), especially if you're already slowed: it roots a slowed target and stuns an immobilized one.

  2. Back off before her third spell

    Count her basic spells and back off before the third: Stage Presence (passive) casts it twice, whether it damages, slows or shields.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies against Encore (R): each champion hit extends its range, and a charmed ally near you lets it reach you.

  4. Target her: she has no dash

    If you can engage, target Seraphine: her kit has no dash to escape.
