Maokai vs Anivia

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control side brush with saplings to deny Anivia's vision and engage angles.
Coordinate engages when your ADC can follow up on your (W) root reliably.
Use (R) to zone river corridors, securing dragon setup and limiting enemy approach.

Trading pattern

Stack saplings in brush and threaten (W) roots from fog for pick potential.
Engage only when your ADC is ready to capitalize on rooted targets.
Avoid engaging in open lane where (R) is easier for enemies to dodge and escape.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) stun range combined with her ADC's follow-up damage.
Avoid grouping in river corridors where (R) can zone and slow your team.
Watch for enemy poke before your engage cooldowns are available, especially pre-level 2.

Early game

Win the level 2 race to threaten quick (W)+(Q) trades with ADC follow-up.
Prioritize brush control early to maximize sapling effectiveness and deny enemy poke.
Prepare to crash waves safely before roaming, ensuring ADC has vision and space.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(Q) combo, enabling strong engage with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 grants full sapling control, enhancing brush dominance and zone control.
Level 6 (R) opens powerful engage and peel windows, especially in narrow river paths.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and strong engage angles.
Use (R) layered in river to secure dragon vision and force favorable objective fights.
Roam after crashing waves with ADC safe, placing vision to punish Anivia's low mobility.
