Guide to Countering Maokai as Twisted Fate

Tips for Playing as Twisted Fate against Maokai

Twisted Fate is viable as an Attack Damage or Ability Power character, letting him fit on many different team compositions.

Coordinate with your allies for the best time to use Destiny to ambush enemies.

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.
