Maokai flings a sapling, which stands watch for 30 seconds. Saplings chase nearby enemies, detonating on arrival to deal (50 + 25% Ability power + 5% Bonus health) magic damage and Slow surrounding enemies by 45% for 2 seconds. Sap Magic's Cooldown is reduced by an additional 4 seconds if the sapling hits an enemy champion or epic monster.
If placed in brush, Saplings instead last for (30 + 1.5% Bonus health) seconds and cause a larger explosion, dealing (100 + 50% Ability power + 10% Bonus health) magic damage over 2 seconds and Slowing enemies by (45 + 0.01 × Ability power + ((1 × 0.01) × 100% Bonus health))%.
