Champion short description:

Maokai is a tank jungler. At the same time, you can also build him completely on AP. But there are also item builds with support items on him in the jungle and then a mixture between AP and tank. So there’s actually nothing that doesn’t exist on Maokai in the jungle. This makes him a lot of fun because you have a lot of choice, but again, you’re also spoiled for choice. He has a lot of CC (crowd control) and can hold opponents in place, and not just once. So if you want to make team fights more difficult for your opponents by your mere existence, but also want to open them up, then Maokai is a good choice.

Description Skill Order:

Maokai’s young clear mainly comes from his Q. Accordingly, you start with it and maximize it first. Next comes the E, as it also deals good damage with the boosted variant (which is created when you throw a sprout into a bush). Finally, you unlock the W, which is almost useless in Jungle Clear. It doesn’t really do any damage, nor does the CC help you. The only useful thing about it is that you can get from camp to camp a little faster because you can fly up to it. The skill order in terms of maximizing skills is exactly how you level them. So Q > E > W.

Tip: If you clear the gromp, you can throw the E into the upper bush to the top lane and drag the gromp there. The only time you won’t have increased E is with the wolves.

Items you can put on Maokai – Jungle buy

Description of the build path:

Maokai is a classic tank jungler. This means that, as with tanks in other roles, we mainly need items that give us life, armor and magic resistance. However, we also need to clear the jungle properly, which is why items that also deal damage to nearby enemies are particularly helpful.
