 | Maokai - the Twisted TreantPrimary: Tank / Secondary: Mage The twisting magical energies unleashed by mages during the Rune Wars caused an incredible amount of devastation to the natural world. The League was established to control the use of this magic by confining it to the Fields of Justice. By limiting its use to there, they thought that they could prevent it from doing further harm to the environment. It seemed that they were successful until Maokai came into being. During a League match on The Twisted Treeline, Maokai, an ancient oak that stood above the upper jungle, spontaneously roared to life. Ripped from the natural balance by arcane forces, his sentience was forged in chaos. Before the Adjudicators of the League could step in and suppress him, he slew all six champions participating in the match. The scholars of the Arcanum Majoris took a keen interest in him, as they were eager to discover the secrets of his animation. Cost: 4800 IP or 880 RP |

★ General Strategy
✔ Playing as
- Saplings can be tossed into brush or over terrain to gain line of sight on your enemies.
- Save Vengeful Maelstrom for after your opponents have fully committed to a fight.
- Ranking up Arcane Smash and Twisted Advance gives Maokai powerful crowd control moves, while ranking up Sapling Toss will improve your damage output and ability to farm.
✗ Playing against
- Saplings can be avoided by placing friendly minions between yourself and them. You can also just outrun them if you're fast.
- Vengeful Maelstrom does more damage if you attack Maokai or his allies within the area of effect. Stay out of the area to avoid the damage.
- Maokai will avoid taking damage while he's using Twisted Advance, so don't waste your spells.
