Guide to Synergizing Renekton and Maokai

Tips for Playing as Renekton with Maokai

Cull the Meek drains an enormous amount of life when used in the middle of the fray. You can use this to bait opponents into thinking you are weaker than you really are.

Slice and Dice excels at harassing maneuvers. Slice in, follow up with another skill and then Dice back out to safety.

Cooldown reduction is especially good for Renekton, allowing him to both quickly build up and use his Fury.

Advice to Understand How Maokai Will Play

Maokai's passive makes him extremely durable against focus fire from spells - so long as he can still basic attack something.

Try looking for flanks or other situations where Nature's Grasp is unavoidable or takes enemies by surprise.

Saplings can be tossed into brush for empowered effect - but don't stack well.
