Maokai (League of Legends)

Brackern[]

Surrounded around the Shuriman Continent are several clans of Brackern, including clans in the Shuriman desert.

Dormun[]

The Dormun are gigantic, slow-moving creatures protected with large chitinous plates covering their body. In the harsh conditions of Shurima they have evolved to survive the perpetual drought by utilizing an unknown sense to locate hidden reservoirs of water. Incidentally, certain nomadic tribes have built themselves a permanent home upon the backs of these beasts where they clean the creature and hunt any airborne pests who venture near.

Eka'Sul[]

Desert goats that travel in herds.

Mwatis[]

Mwatis are goatlike creatures with large plated casques on their heads. Mwati wool and plate are prised for felting and insulation.

Kmiros[]

Gigantic scarabs that roam in swarms, looking for unfortunate travelers to feed on. They seem to be common prey for Rammus.

Outerbeasts[]

Beside the Xer'Sai, other creatures from the Void, referred to as 'outerbeasts', can be found in the desert.

Xer'Sai: Creatures from the Void that plague the southern deserts. They are the size of big dogs on average, but can be smaller or much bigger. Rek'Sai, as the queen, is by far the largest and most dangerous of her species. Xer'sai burst from their small burrows and ravage anything nearby, to the detriment of desert caravans. Once dead, the Xer'sai decompose at an abnormally rapid rate and become inedible.

Ralsiji[]

A Shuriman Camel 1
A Shuriman Camel 2

Large and aggressive minotaur-like creatures. They are humpbacked quadrupeds with long limbs and thick horns.

Shuriman Camel[]

A breed of camels native to the deserts of Shurima and are used by caravans as well as common folk as primary mode of transportation. Despite being well-suited for lengthy travels in the desert landscape, they are still prey to a many predator such as the Xer'Sai.

Sandswimmers[]

Sandswimmers are massive quadrupedal creatures that traverse the Shuriman desert in cyclical patterns. They got their name due to their preferred method of travel. Their narrow bodies and webbed feet are perfectly design for swimming under the sand. They feed on bugs and other small creatures most desert beasts ignore. Scavengers will often memorize the predictable paths these creatures take, and jump onto their backs to ride as far as they wish.

Skallashi[]

The Skallashi are large quadrupedal herbivores. These hardy beasts of burden are common across Shurima, ideally suited to the harsh desert environment. Their key body feature is their long legs. Notoriously bad-tempered, they are nevertheless treated with great reverence. Their brown hides are often painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns hung with totems and charms. While these creatures are mostly used for travel and carrying heavy loads, on some larger skallashi people are able to built miniature rooms for more comfortable travel. To own one is often considered a sign of considerable prosperity.

Abilities[]

Edit

Innate: Periodically, Maokai empowers his next basic attack to have an uncancellable windup and heal him for Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)4% − 12.8% (based on level) maximum health after a 0.25-second delay.

Each time Maokai casts an ability, hits at least one enemy champion or epic monster with Sapling Toss, or is struck by an enemy's ability, Sap Magic's cooldown is reduced by 4 seconds, modified to 1.5 if he is hit by a large monster's basic attack or ability.

Sap Magic resets Maokai's basic attack timer, and will not trigger if he is above Champions killed with Comeuppance (R)95% maximum health.

Sap Magic does not occur if the attack is dodged and/or missed if Maokai is blinded. It will occur if it is blocked.
The striking ability has to trigger spell effects such as spell damage or area damage for the cooldown to be reduced.
If Maokai possesses a spell shield and it consumes an enemy ability, he will still receive the cooldown reduction.
The empowered attack will not trigger against structures nor wards.

Arena differences ^edit

Cooldown changed to 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 seconds.

Edit

See Pets for more details about Saplings.

▶️ "Away, my sapling."

Applies area damage from a normal Sapling and deals persistent damage to enemies hit by an empowered Sapling.
Saplings have a base movement speed of 400, increased based on Maokai's boots:
- Boots: 425
- Berserker's Greaves, Ionian Boots of Lucidity, Mercury's Treads, Plated Steelcaps and Sorcerer's Shoes: 445
- Boots of Swiftness: 460
Sapling Toss grants sight of the target location even while the Sapling is in flight.
The Saplings will continue to chase their target even if they lose sight of them (but they do not prioritize champions so they will chase the first target they encounter).
Saplings will appear on the map as minions despite being untargetable and invulnerable.
Saplings cannot stack on top of each other (they will move a short distance away from one another if they are aimed at the same location).
The damage of empowered Saplings is equally split into chunks of 66.7% of the normal Sapling damage every second, once immediately, and then at the 1 and 2 second mark.
The Sapling will stop its movement upon colliding with Unbreakable.
Saplings attack Baron Nashor always at the same two points, no matter where they were placed.

Ultra Rapid Fire differences ^edit

Limited to 5 Saplings active.

Edit

Active: Maokai summons a colossal wall of five thorny brambles that slowly advances in the target direction, accelerating over time, each stopping when they collide with an enemy champion. Hitting at least one enemy champion grants Maokai Champions killed 5s before or after using Chronobreak (R)bonus movement speed decaying over 2 seconds.

Bonus Movement Speed:: 40 / 50 / 60%

Each bramble deals Damage mitigated with Shifting Sands (E)magic damage to enemies hit and roots them for 0.75 − 2.25 (based on distance traveled) seconds.

Magic Damage:: 150 / 225 / 300 Multiple champions hit with Between Worlds (R)(+ 75% AP)

The brambles are made up of 4 missiles each which trail 100 units behind one another. The front missile carries the visual effect. When colliding with a champion, all missiles of one bramble are destroyed simultaneously.
- Missiles destroyed by other means such as Samira's Blade Whirl may not destroy their fellows from the same branch, resulting in one or more invisible missiles that may still collide.^(bug)
This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the start of the cast time.

Maokai is a rageful, towering treant who fights the unnatural horrors of the Shadow Isles. He was twisted into a force of vengeance after a magical cataclysm destroyed his home, surviving undeath only through the Waters of Life infused within his heartwood. Once a peaceful nature spirit, Maokai now furiously battles to banish the scourge of unlife from the Shadow Isles and restore his home to its former beauty.
