Undoubtedly one of the best guides we can get... Everything was covered so much clearly compared to any other channel guides.... Thank you so much for such an in-depth guide... Am totally gonna follow you guys for any further champion guides
I playtested maokai jg clears in practice tool my first conclusions of this champion is that he needs shimmering spark to get a 2 min ult gank otherwise you're looking at 2:15 and are very susceptible to jungle invades ESPECIALLY BLUE BUFF losing blue sets you back to a 3 minute ult which is massive considering how that impacts how many high impact ganks you can make especially when you need to have it for dragon/herald contests it's not as bad as hecarim fiddle sticks or eve ult but it is longer than nautilus ult but shorter than ammumu and rammus ult which seems a bit wrong now that I actually checked it he's garenteed 2 opportunities to ult before first obj spawn
I'm not gonna say much but..Toplane Maokai with grasp is pretty strong, it's a really good counter for ranged to planes, you can force free trades with passive and slowly chip their HP so your Q does more damage
Very good and in-depth guide as always, keep it up! I think tank Maokai is way more reliable than AP. Grasp for top, Glacial Augment for support and imho even for jungler Glacial > Aftershock; Hexflash is super good for support and jungler.
Fimbulwinter(tear tank item) synergized well if youre going courage of the collosus or any immobilizing item with that 🎉 If you need to you could run manaflow but i prefer scorch or item haste
Mh- I see him survive lane and being a decent setupper - not a carry pick I think Can surely cheese with jungle pre though Flash + 2nd -> into insec with 1st -> jungle free kill if anyone gets too close
Undoubtedly one of the best guide videos we can get... Totally better than most other guide videos from other channels.... Thank you so much for such an in-depth guide... Will surely follow you guys for any further champion guides
Spirit visage not even getting honorable mentions with all the healing options? What about the domination tree perk that reduces the cool down for items?
What are your thoughts about Spirit Visage? On paper, it seems like it should be especially good for healing tanky champs like Swain and Maokai; however, i feel like it doesn't really fit into a build very well, with heartsteel, dawnshroud, abyssal mask/force of nature, thornmail, mantle, and twinguard all taking precedence
If enemy team has a lot of magic dmg Abyssal just does so much more :/ It fits - but you need space for it in your build and often other items will just perform better
Hi really love your content so much. I can really see the work put behind it. I'm from india age 150 years old but wildrift still ain't released here. Not given up hope and still waiting. Vpn? Ping problem, mostly red pings
why Grasp over Aftershock btw? Also yea Heartsteel is giga broken. Mao normally like Sunfire more but HS is just too good to not buy. I need to try Dawnshroud too, kinda forgot that item exist.. Nice vid as usual!
@@RiftGuidesWildRiftI'll try grasp again I guess. Been having a lot of fun playing him (he was my main in pc back in S5) but now in WR he get permabanned like every new champion.
I build him with rod of ages and crown and it makes me "tanky" with the amount of healing I'm doing with crowns ability to eat a sudden skill shot but truthfully a tankier build is probably the way to go.
I feel like his scalings are all too weak: basic abilities ≤50%, ult 65%. In comparison, Nautilus has 90% on Q, 40% per AA on W, 50-75% on E (if you hit multiple waves on the same enemy), and 80% on ult. Amumu has a similar story. And if these champions with a similar functionality to maokai are usually played as tanks (*usually* not always), then I think maokai definitely should build tank
When people get used to kiting the saplings, ludens won't be as good. First item R.O.A for the all-around, I think.. 😅 That and grasp with gathering storm. Oooooooooo 😂
Everyone keeps building full ap I think it's so troll.. boots of mana into a tank build is insane... crown 3rd and Liandrys 4th are more than enough damage... with heartsteal, then dawnshroud, and twinguard 5th Electrocute - collussus, second wing, perseverance, transcendence.. ggs
hmmm.. this channel might be my new staple for new champion releases. This is better than HellsDevil, imo only. Thanks
Your comment just had to include a slice of hate towards another content creator, cringe asf.
@@roninakuma2287 no hate bruv. I love Hells. This is just one thing I like better in this channel. That's just it. Stop thinking anything else.

I think the passive cd is the red bar under his mana bar
Yep - I am blind
I looked at the buff bar lmao

Insane jungle setupper
@@RiftGuidesWildRift he's also very strong in the jungle
Tip: You can cast your Ultimate sideways so that the roots will hit the enemies faster (if you wanna lock them down immediately)
Is it possible for Maokai to play in all of the lanes? Just wondering since Maokai seems like an interesting champion
Very good and in-depth guide as always, keep it up!

What about the runess? What do you recommend?

Do you think he can play mid? That ult says insta-kill during scuttle fight.
Mh- I see him survive lane and being a decent setupper - not a carry pick I think
Can surely cheese with jungle pre though
Flash + 2nd -> into insec with 1st -> jungle free kill if anyone gets too close
You can pre-cast your second skill and then flash for some nutty surprise pick
Much appreciated video, thank you!

Thanks again you dirty little goblin for the awesome guides!
Ive been in pvp trying to maokai and I just cannot get this champion to work

Vpn? Ping problem, mostly red pings
Yo, would you try my gragas build in the top lane? You will not regret it.
why Grasp over Aftershock btw?
Also yea Heartsteel is giga broken. Mao normally like Sunfire more but HS is just too good to not buy. I need to try Dawnshroud too, kinda forgot that item exist..
Nice vid as usual!
Lane-o-Kai prefers Grasp imo
Jungle-o-Kai Aftershock
Support-o-Kai (tank) Glacial
@@RiftGuidesWildRiftI'll try grasp again I guess. Been having a lot of fun playing him (he was my main in pc back in S5) but now in WR he get permabanned like every new champion.
Oh also hexflash for jungle! You can flash W gank into mid at lv 2 or 3 and will almost always gets a kill 👍
Yep you're right!
Jungle clearing short airs a bit later - is already on TikTok though!
17:21 in-vid = 44:44 in-game 👀
Do u recommend ap or tank more for jg?
Tank - AP is surely more fun though but a lot more vulnerable
I’ve only played 5 games or so, but I don’t think AP is worth it. The damage increase isn’t significant enough to justify being so squishy
I build him with rod of ages and crown and it makes me "tanky" with the amount of healing I'm doing with crowns ability to eat a sudden skill shot but truthfully a tankier build is probably the way to go.
Tank deals more damage imo

@@swinglow6580 I build awakened Soulstealer to get the 25% cooldown reduction on the ultimates and then go tank from there
Can we get a maokai jg video too
