Who Wins

  • You win level 2 with E-W combo setting up Samira's all-in potential, but you lose level 6 when Maokai's ultimate provides too much engage and peel.
  • Your immobility becomes a major weakness against Maokai's point-and-click engage.

Synergy & Trading

  • Use E pull to set up Samira's dash combos and follow with W for additional CC and damage.
  • Focus on poking with Q and collecting soul fragments to maintain health advantage.

Wave Control/Roaming

  • You shouldn't roam much due to your immobility and the need to protect Samira from Maokai's engage.
  • Stay in lane to provide consistent damage and CC for your ADC.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't use E aggressively when Maokai has W available as he can easily engage on you while it's on cooldown.
  • Avoid positioning too far forward as Jhin's ultimate can easily pick you off due to your lack of mobility.
