Taric vs Maokai

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use (W) to link with ADC and threaten (E) stun angles around brush control.
Prioritize protecting ADC from (W) root and sapling brush control.
Engage with (R) only when ADC can follow up through Maokai's sapling zones.

Trading pattern

Link (W) to ADC and threaten (E) stun from both sides of brush for surprise.
Hold (R) to counter Maokai's all-in or root engage, enabling ADC to fight safely.
Avoid fighting outside (W) range where (Q)+(W) combo punishes lack of peel.

Danger windows

Respect (W) root and (Q) knockback cooldowns to avoid ADC lockdown.
Beware Maokai's saplings denying brush vision, forcing unsafe ADC positioning.
Avoid fighting near river choke points where (R) root can lock down your ADC.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely to use (Q)+(E) heal and stun with ADC follow-up.
Deny Maokai brush control by clearing saplings before ADC steps forward.
Hold wave near your tower to reduce Maokai's engage angles and protect ADC access.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q) heal plus (E) stun, enabling stronger trades with ADC follow-up.
Level 3 (W) linked angles increase peel and engage threat around brush.
Level 6 (R) invulnerability changes fight dynamics; use with ADC for committed all-ins or peel.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into ADC access by clearing saplings and securing vision.
Time (R) with ADC engages or defensive resets to win extended 2v2 fights.
Ward river and dragon early to deny Maokai's roam and objective setups.

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