Seraphine vs Maokai

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use poke and layered (E) roots to deny Maokai's brush control and keep ADC safe.
Hold (W) shield for ADC peel against Maokai's engage and root follow-up.
Control river vision to limit (R) engage angles and roam threat.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and layer (E) after ADC slows to punish Maokai's engage cooldowns.
Save empowered (W) to shield ADC during (W) root or (R) engage attempts.
Deny brush vision to reduce sapling control and force Maokai into less effective trades.

Danger windows

Respect (W) root cooldown; avoid stepping up without ADC ready to peel.
Beware brush saplings denying vision, making ADC vulnerable to sudden engage.
Avoid grouping tightly in river choke points where (R) can root multiple targets.

Early game

Track level 2 to contest brush control and enable ADC follow-up on (W).
Use wave pressure to create safe poke windows without overexposing ADC to Maokai's engage.
Ward river early to spot Maokai's roam attempts and protect mid pressure.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) poke and root setup; use this to pressure Maokai's engage.
Level 3 full kit enables sustained shield and poke; leverage this to protect ADC and deny Maokai's sapling brush.
Level 6 (R) charm can counter (R) engage; use with ADC follow-up for strong all-ins or peel.

Win conditions

Convert poke and root layering into denied ADC access for Maokai's bot lane.
Use wave state and brush control to create safe roam windows and secure river vision for dragon setup.
Coordinate (R) ultimate with ADC follow-up to win grouped fights and force Maokai on defensive.

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