Who Wins
- Pre-6 you struggle against Lucian's superior trading with passive double-shots and E mobility, while Maokai's E saplings deny your jump resets.
- Post-6 your R gives you strong self-peel and your scaling begins to match their mid-game power, especially with E bomb resets in teamfights.
Synergy & Trading
- Focus on E bomb poke when enemies are grouped, then look for W resets if the bomb kills minions or chunks enemies low.
- Your best all-ins come when Rell successfully engages and you can W forward for the follow-up damage.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Play for scaling and farm safely, using W defensively rather than aggressively until you have items.
- Look to fast push waves when Rell roams so you can recall safely or take plates.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't W aggressively without minions to jump back to since Maokai's Q and Lucian's damage can easily punish you.
- Avoid letting Lucian proc his passive on you repeatedly in extended trades as his DPS will quickly overwhelm your burst potential.
