Guide to Synergizing Elise and Maokai

Tips for Playing as Elise with Maokai

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

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.
