    Maokai lore:

    Maokai is a rageful, towering treant who fights the unnatural horrors of the Shadow Isles. He was twisted into a force of vengeance after a magical cataclysm destroyed his home, surviving undeath only through the Waters of Life infused within his heartwood. Once a peaceful nature spirit, Maokai now furiously battles to banish the scourge of unlife from the Shadow Isles and restore his home to its former beauty.

    Maokai tips:

    • Saplings can be tossed into brush for empowered effect - but don't stack well.
    • Try looking for flanks or other situations where Nature's Grasp is unavoidable or takes enemies by surprise.
    • Maokai's passive makes him extremely durable against focus fire from spells - so long as he can still basic attack something.

    Playing Against Maokai

    • Saplings will chase the first enemy that gets too close, but detonate after a few seconds or if they collide with other enemies. Be especially careful around brush sapling, as they are much more dangerous.
    • The cooldown on Maokai's self healing is heavily gated on how many time you hit him with spells. Careful about wasting abilities on him.
    • Maokai will avoid taking damage while he's using Twisted Advance, so don't waste your spells.

    Maokai abilities description:

    Sap Magic
    P
    Sap Magic (passive)
    Maokai's basic attack also heals him and deals additional damage on a moderate cooldown. Each time Maokai casts a spell or is struck by an enemy's spell, this cooldown is reduced.
    Bramble Smash
    Q
    Bramble Smash (Q)
    Maokai knocks back nearby enemies with a shockwave, dealing magic damage and slowing them.
    Twisted Advance
    W
    Twisted Advance (W)
    Maokai contorts into a mass of moving roots, becoming untargetable and dashing to the target. Upon arrival, he roots the target.
    Sapling Toss
    E
    Sapling Toss (E)
    Maokai flings a sapling to the target area to stand guard. More effective in brush.
    Nature's Grasp
    R
    Nature's Grasp (R)
    Maokai summons a colossal wall of brambles and thorns that slowly advances forwards, damaging and rooting any enemies in the path.
