How to win lane as Maokai against Yuumi · 55.39% win rate over 1,020 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Maokai | Yuumi has no CC and only Q poke, so you control the lane from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Maokai | You reach 2 first and can W her ADC while she's stuck attached and unable to peel. |
| Level 3 | Maokai | At 3 your W locks her carry regardless of attach, and she can't interrupt it. |
| Levels 4-5 | Maokai | Through 4-5 your sustain soaks her poke while your engage keeps threatening kills. |
| Level 6 | Maokai | Your level-6 R roots through her ult heal zone since she has no way to stop it. |
| First item | Maokai | Tank items plus Sap Magic let you dive her ADC repeatedly with no counterplay. |
| Two+ items | Maokai | In 2+ item fights she can only heal, never disengage, so your flank W always lands. |
You own levels 1-2: Yuumi brings zero hard CC and can only chip with her Q, so as long as you respect the poke you can walk the lane down. Watch for the moment she detaches to CS or fires Q — that window is a free W or Sapling slow onto her ADC. Your sustain from Sap Magic soaks her poke and keeps your health where you want it for the all-in.
