Maokai vs Seraphine Matchup Summary

The Maokai vs Seraphine matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 70 recent matches analyzed, Seraphine wins with a 57.1% win rate compared to Maokai's 42.9%, giving Seraphine a 14.3 percentage point advantage. Seraphine dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Maokai players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Maokai leads by 800 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Seraphine has a strong advantage in this matchup. Maokai players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Seraphine overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Sustain
1,402Maokai
