How to win lane as Maokai against Renata Glasc · 52.32% win rate over 237 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Maokai | You win level 1 — Renata has no engage and folds to your early pressure. |
| Level 2 | Maokai | Level 2 is yours — Q-Sapling all-in punishes a support with no self-engage. |
| Level 3 | Maokai | Level 3 favors you as your CC lands freely against her reactive kit. |
| Levels 4-5 | Maokai | Levels 4-5 stay yours — you control every engage window she can only react to. |
| Level 6 | Maokai | At 6 your long-range Grasp still dictates fights despite her Hostile Takeover. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is skill-based — her Bailout/Loyalty shields start blunting your all-ins. |
| Two+ items | Renata | By two-plus items Renata's enchanter scaling and game-swinging R outvalue your frontline. |
You dominate the early game — Renata has no self-peel engage and leans entirely on her ADC, so your level-2 Q-Sapling all-in and W-Q pickoffs punish any step-up hard. Her only answer is Handshake E, a long-cooldown disengage; bait it or engage when it's down and you'll win every honest trade through the first few levels.
