Maokai into Yuumimedium

Overview

Prioritize brush control to deny Yuumi's safe attachment and enable your saplings.
Use root engage only with immediate ADC follow-up for kill pressure.
Control river vision to set up engages and secure dragon objectives.

Stack saplings in brush to zone Yuumi's ADC and threaten root engages.
Hold to punish enemy ADC stepping forward, syncing with your ADC's damage.
Avoid engaging without your ADC or when brush is cleared, as Yuumi detaches safely.

Yuumi's root during extended fights can lock your ADC; avoid clustered positioning.
Enemy ADC stepping near your sapling brush without Yuumi attached risks root engage.
Yuumi detaching near your engage cooldowns reduces threat; respect her safe poke timing.

Level 2 unlocks + combo for strong root engage; use with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 sapling control enhances poke and vision denial; leverage brush to force Yuumi back.
Level 6 grants powerful river engage or peel; coordinate with ADC and objective timing.

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and root pick opportunities.
Use to initiate fights in river chokepoints, enabling dragon setup and teamfight entry.
Roam after wave crashes with vision control to pressure mid and secure objectives safely.
