Who Wins
- You win level 2 all-ins if Pyke lands hook as your burst damage combined with his engage is superior to their poke.
- At level 6, you lose extended fights due to Maokai's ultimate and Caitlyn's sustained damage output.
Synergy & Trading
- Wait for Pyke to land hooks or engage, then immediately follow up with W root and full combo during the CC chain.
- Use your fourth shot on the primary target while they're locked down by Pyke's abilities.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Focus on freezing waves near your tower to create gank opportunities for Pyke and your jungler.
- Avoid hard pushing unless you have vision control as Maokai's engage range increases significantly in longer lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never waste your W root independently of Pyke's engage as it's your only follow-up tool for his hooks.
- Avoid reloading in dangerous positions as Caitlyn will punish your immobility with headshot trades.
