Maokai, the Twisted Treant, is a melee tank and support champion. In fights Maokai is a very durable champion who deals magic damage while supporting the team, with healing in the kit. Here are the augments Maokai players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Gain Shield after Immobilizing or Grounding an enemy champion.
The roots from Twisted Advance (W) and Nature's Grasp (R) trigger the shield, giving you extra protection right as you engage.
Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.
Your Sap Magic (passive) healing scales with your max Health, so each takedown makes you both bigger and better at sustaining through long fights.
Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.
The bonus Health makes you harder to kill and increases the healing from your Sap Magic (passive), which scales with your max Health.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Maokai players take it.
