Maokai vs Zyra

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control side brush with saplings to deny Zyra's plant zones and root angles.
Use (W) root from fog for engage when ADC can follow immediately.
Prioritize river vision and prepare (R) engage in narrow objective corridors.

Trading pattern

Engage from brush with (W) root and layer saplings to trap targets for ADC follow-up.
Hold (Q) knockback to keep enemy ADC in ADC attack range after (W) root.
Avoid engaging without ADC damage or when brush is cleared of saplings.

Danger windows

(E) root combined with plant zones threatens ADC when stepping near brush.
Avoid clustering for Zyra's level 6 (R) knockup in teamfights or river chokes.
Respect Zyra's brush control and poke range to prevent ADC access denial.

Early game

Track level 2 to contest wave only if ADC can follow (W)+(Q) engage.
Stack saplings in brush early to punish Zyra's plants and deny her vision.
Use wave state to enable safe engage windows and prevent Zyra's poke pressure.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(Q) combo for strong engage; time trades with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 sapling control enhances brush dominance and poke safety.
Level 6 (R) amplifies engage and objective control in narrow river paths.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and safe ADC access.
Use (R) to start fights around dragon or river objectives with ADC follow-up.
Roam after wave crash with vision set to pressure mid and secure objective setups.
