Maokai combo routes

Every sequence states what it solves. Learn the decision before the muscle memory.

01

W → reposition → Q

Direct the push

W roots on arrival. Check which side of the target you occupy before Q so its knockback does not push the enemy away from allied damage.

WrepositionQ
02

R → confirm root → W

Wave follow-up

R advances slowly and must connect. Follow a confirmed root with W when allies can reach; the cast alone is not a secured engage.

03

E into brush → hold Q

Scout before entry

Saplings are more effective in brush. Use their information to choose the approach; keep Q for close threats rather than assuming a thrown sapling makes entry safe.
