Thresh vs Maokai

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control brush to threaten (Q) hook angles and deny Maokai sapling vision.
Use (W) lantern proactively to protect immobile ADCs from Maokai's root engages.
Prioritize lane space and river vision to enable safe engages and counter Maokai's roam attempts.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) hook threat and use (E) to interrupt (W) root engage attempts.
Use (W) lantern to allow ADC to trade aggressively inside Maokai's engage range.
Avoid throwing (Q) on cooldown without ADC follow-up to prevent losing pressure and peel options.

Danger windows

Respect (W) root, which follows dashes and can lock down your ADC.
Avoid face-checking brush with saplings active to prevent root setups and vision denial.
Watch for Maokai's level 6 (R) engage in narrow river paths that can trap your ADC.

Early game

Win level 2 race to pair (Q) plus (E) for strong engage with ADC follow-up.
Deny Maokai brush control early to limit sapling placement and reduce enemy engage angles.
Coordinate with ADC to crash waves before roaming or setting river vision for dragon.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) combo, enabling strong pick threat and lane control.
Level 3 grants (W) lantern, increasing ADC safety and allowing extended trades.
Level 6 (R) adds peel and all-in threat, especially with confirmed ADC follow-up.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and safe ADC access for engages.
Use (W) lantern and (Q) hook to enable picks and extend ganks around dragon vision.
Roam after wave crashes with ADC safe, setting river vision to pressure mid and secure objectives.

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