Passive Sap Magic heals Maokai whenever a nearby spell is cast — the more ability spam in a fight, the more you heal. S1 Bramble Smash knocks back and slows the target; use it to interrupt dashes and disengage from divers. S2 Twisted Advance dashes to a target, rooting them for up to 1.3 seconds — this is your primary engage tool. In trades, S2 root into S3 Sapling Toss AoE damage then S1 for a knockback to prevent escape. S3 Sapling Toss lobs a sapling that deals AoE damage; in brush or bushes the sapling lasts longer and deals more damage — use brush for amplified sapling poke. In teamfights, S2 onto the most impactful target to root them, S3 into the cluster, and Ult Nature's Grasp sends a wave of roots along the ground — aim it through the longest line of enemies to root as many as possible while your team collapses.
