Who Wins
- You win pre-6 through superior range, fourth shot damage, and Maokai's bush control limiting their positioning options.
- Post-6 you maintain advantage as Maokai's R provides reliable setup for your W root and R execution.
Synergy & Trading
- Use Q bounces when enemies are near low-health minions, then follow with fourth shot auto when they're slowed or rooted by Maokai.
- Space with W root when Twitch exits stealth or Sona walks up to poke.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain slow pushes to build minion advantages for Q bounces while Maokai controls side bushes with E.
- Reset waves before recalls to deny enemy freeze attempts and maintain pressure.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste fourth shot on minions when enemies are in range as it's your primary trading tool.
- Never use R without Maokai setup or guaranteed hit as the long channel leaves you vulnerable to Twitch flanks.
