Abilities

  1. PSap Magic

    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.

  2. QBramble SmashCooldown 7/6.5/6/5.5/5s · Cost 40 · Range 600

    Maokai knocks back nearby enemies with a shockwave, dealing magic damage and slowing them.

  3. WTwisted AdvanceCooldown 14/13/12/11/10s · Cost 60 · Range 525

    Maokai contorts into a mass of moving roots, becoming untargetable and dashing to the target. Upon arrival, he roots the target.

  4. ESapling TossCooldown 18/17/16/15/14s · Cost 60/65/70/75/80 · Range 1100

    Maokai flings a sapling to the target area to stand guard. More effective in brush.

  5. RNature's GraspCooldown 130/110/90s · Cost 100 · Range 3000

    Maokai summons a colossal wall of brambles and thorns that slowly advances forwards, damaging and rooting any enemies in the path.

Playing as Maokai

  • 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.

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.
