Synergy & Trading

  • Use Q dancing grenade bounces on minions to poke, then follow with W root when enemies are slowed or damaged.
  • Your fourth shot should be saved for maximum damage during Maokai's engage or when enemies try to all-in.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Maintain slow pushes to keep minion advantages while using superior range to zone enemies from CS.
  • You want to build small leads through poke before looking for decisive trades with Maokai.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W root on Tahm when he has W devour available - he can instantly save his ADC.
  • Focus W on Ashe first or wait until Tahm uses W before committing your root.
