Rakan vs Maokai

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control to threaten (W) engage angles and protect ADC access.
Prioritize quick (E) shields and dashes to enable ADC follow-up and disengage.
Control river vision for roam windows and to contest (R) engage path.

Trading pattern

Engage with (W) when ADC is ready to follow up on knockup, then use (E) to peel or reposition.
Hold (E) charges to shield ADC during (W) root attempts or (R) engages.
Deny brush to reduce Maokai's sapling vision and disrupt his engage setup.

Danger windows

Respect (W) root follow-up on dashes; hold (E) shield to protect ADC.
Avoid clustered positioning in river to not get caught by (R) root during objective fights.
Beware of sapling brush control denying vision and enabling Maokai's engage angles.

Early game

Track level 2 to time (W)+(E) trades with ADC follow-up for strong all-in pressure.
Deny Maokai sapling brush control to limit his (Q) poke and (W) root angles.
Use wave crash timing to create roam opportunities without risking ADC safety.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(E) combo for strong engage and peel; use this to contest lane priority.
Level 3 adds (Q) heal and poke, enhancing sustain and trade potential around brush control.
Level 6 (R) charm enables multi-target engages; coordinate with ADC and river vision for picks.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and safe ADC follow-up engages.
Use roam windows after wave crashes to pressure mid and secure river vision for dragon setup.
Leverage level 6 charm to initiate fights with ADC ready to chain CC and burst down targets.

Tip: For Rakan vs Maokai, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
