Synergy & Trading

  • Look for hook angles when Maokai steps forward to ward or trade, then follow up with stun for Jinx to deal damage.
  • Avoid extended trades and focus on quick burst combos with your mobility.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • You should roam frequently after level 6, especially when Jinx has wave control or is backing.
  • Optimal roam timings are after shoving waves, when mid is overextended, or when jungle skirmishes are happening.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't hook Maokai when he has full health and abilities up, as he will just CC chain you to death.
  • Avoid staying in lane when low on health since Varus can easily poke you out with Q spam.
