Synergy & Trading

  • Dash onto Jhin when Swain lands E pull, using W to block Maokai's sapling and Jhin's abilities.
  • Look for extended trades where you can stack your passive and potentially reach ultimate.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • Push aggressively early to deny Jhin farm and look for all-in opportunities before level 6.
  • After Maokai gets ultimate, focus on farming safely and waiting for jungle assistance.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste W defensively against Maokai's sapling poke as you'll need it for all-ins or to block Jhin's W.
  • Avoid using dash aggressively when Maokai has ultimate available as you'll be an easy target for his engage.
