| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Maokai | Level 1 favours Maokai on Sapling poke and early root priority. |
| Level 2 | Maokai | Level 2 is Maokai's as his W-into-Sapling all-in starts the trade war. |
| Level 3 | Maokai | Level 3 stays Maokai-favoured on continued hard-CC trade dominance. |
| Levels 4-5 | Maokai | Levels 4-5 remain his because he holds engage and poke priority. |
| Level 6 | Maokai | Level 6 is Maokai's since Nature's Grasp roots through your single E. |
| First item | Braum | First item flips to you as tank stats let you walk poke and out-sustain him. |
| Two+ items | Braum | 2+ items favours you because your peel outvalues his single-target root late. |
Levels 1-5 are Maokai's: his W root and Sapling poke give him the hard-CC and trade priority to start every fight, and his level-6 lane-wide root only deepens the pressure on your ADC.
