How to win lane as Milio against Maokai · 52.46% win rate over 1,323 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Milio | You win level 1 because your Q knockback plus ADC auto out-damages Maokai's single available spell. |
| Level 2 | Milio | At level 2 your ability to two-spell burst arrives before he has both W and E ready. |
| Level 3 | Maokai | Level 3 favors Maokai as his sapling poke and Twisted Advance combo start chipping you down. |
| Levels 4-5 | Maokai | Levels 4-5 stay Maokai's as his sustained E poke and W engage threat outpace your early shields. |
| Level 6 | Maokai | Level 6 is his: Nature's Grasp root guarantees a W dash all-in your ult can't fully stop. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even once your support item and shields offset his poke and neutralize his lone engage. |
| Two+ items | Milio | At 2+ items you win as your global cleanse, heals, and W zone let your carry break his frontline. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q knockback plus ADC follow-up out-trades a single-spell Maokai, so play for the level-2 all-in if he walks up to last-hit. Ward the tri-bush so his saplings can't sit on you unseen.
