Guide to Synergizing Diana and Maokai

Tips for Playing as Diana with Maokai

Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.

Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.

Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

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.
