1,106Rek'Sai
Rek'Sai heavily out-damages Maokai by 294 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Maokai should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Rek'Sai's sustained damage advantage take over.
