Guide to Countering Maokai as Braum

Tips for Playing as Braum against Maokai

Glacial Fissure leaves a powerful slow zone, position it well to split teamfights and slow the enemy approach.

Leap in front of squishy friends and shield them from projectiles with Unbreakable.

Work with your allies to stack Concussive Blows, encourage them to basic attack marked targets.

Advice to Win Against Maokai

The cooldown on Maokai's self healing is heavily gated on how many time you hit him with spells. Careful about wasting abilities on him.

Maokai will avoid taking damage while he's using Twisted Advance, so don't waste your spells.

Saplings will chase the first enemy that gets too close, but detonate after a few seconds or if they collide with other enemies. Be especially careful around brush sapling, as they are much more dangerous.
