How to Play This Matchup
Mid-Game Showdown
Both champions spike around the same time. The player who gets their first item faster wins. Focus on CS leads and smart trades to build an advantage before the mid-game.
MR Priority
Both deal magic damage. An early Null-Magic Mantle or Mercury's Treads can swing the lane. Hexdrinker is also an option for AD champs.
Range Advantage
Lux has range advantage. Maokai should look for short trades when Lux uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Lux's Weakness
Lux's main weakness: Assassins, all-in, Q is dodgeable. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Lux Win Condition
Land Q, full combo one-shot, zone with E
Maokai Win Condition
R root wave engage, sapling vision, tanky CC bot
