Maokai vs Seraphine

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control side brush with saplings to deny Seraphine's poke and create engage angles.
Use (W) root to lock down overextended ADCs for your ADC's follow-up damage.
Layer (R) through river choke points to start fights and secure objective control.

Trading pattern

Stack saplings in brush to threaten Seraphine's approach and force her to reposition.
Engage with (W) only when your ADC is ready to follow up immediately.
Hold (Q) knockback and (R) root for peel or counter-engage if Seraphine commits her (R).

Danger windows

Seraphine's empowered (E) root after allied slows can catch your ADC vulnerable; stay alert.
Avoid standing in line to prevent multi-target (R) charm that disables your ADC.
Respect her empowered (W) shield timing which can negate your engage damage and sustain her ADC.

Early game

Win level 2 by combining (W) root and (Q) knockback with ADC follow-up for strong trades.
Prioritize brush control early to prevent Seraphine from safely poking and shielding.
Coordinate wave crash timing with your ADC before roaming to avoid losing lane pressure.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(Q) combo; use it to pressure Seraphine's immobility and force her back.
Level 3 sapling control secures brush dominance, enabling safer engages and vision denial.
Level 6 (R) opens strong objective fights; layer it through river choke points with ADC follow-up.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denying Seraphine's ADC space and vision around dragon.
Use (R) to initiate fights in narrow river paths, ensuring your ADC can follow up.
Ward river and track Seraphine's roam timer to enable safe ADC roams and objective setups.
