Synergy & Trading

  • Use fourth shot or W root when Maokai lands Q knockback for guaranteed damage.
  • Focus on poking with Q bounces and auto-attacks while staying behind Maokai's threat range.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push for early recalls and maintain distance, using your range advantage to farm safely.
  • Avoid extended trades and focus on short burst patterns when Samira's W is on cooldown.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use W root aggressively when Samira has dash available as she can easily gap close and all-in you.
  • Never walk up for CS when Swain has E available without Maokai between you and the enemy duo.
