Read from Renata Glasc's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Maokai.
This is Renata Glasc's own plan; across 484 pooled games the lane is leaning Maokai.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Renata Glasc | You win level 1 because Handshake (Q) plus early aggression beats Maokai before his engage tools are online. |
| Level 2 | Renata Glasc | At level 2 your all-in with your ADC lands before his W Twisted Advance spike, so the window is yours. |
| Level 3 | Maokai | At level 3 Maokai gets W lockdown and sustain, letting him tank your Q and win extended trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Maokai | Through levels 4-5 his Sapling poke and passive healing keep him ahead in the sustain war. |
| Level 6 | Maokai | At level 6 Maokai's Nature's Grasp adds a second hard engage, out-threatening your setup. |
| First item | Renata Glasc | By first item your shielding and R counter-engage recover the tempo against his single-target lock. |
| Two+ items | Renata Glasc | Into 2 items your R and range outscale his lockdown, putting the matchup back in your favor. |
You own the level 1-2 window: Handshake (Q) plus an early all-in beats Maokai before his Twisted Advance (W) and sustain come online, so trade aggressively and look to hit 2 first. His dash-root arrives before your tether does if you throw openly, so hold it for the moment he commits. Mark him with an auto in the gaps for the free damage, and keep the shield-speed for your carry's exit rather than for the sapling chip in between.
