Manikin Scepter Even though Maui has Aoe/Cleave AA, this Item provides him the fastest lane clear i have witnessed so far. In combination with His Master Fisherman you will hit lvl 2 before any other solo laner. With a lot of damage of Manikin Scepter threw its passive u are pretty strong in the first few levels. This provides Maui to dominate the lane in the early game, which is pretty important in certain matchups. Book of Thoth gives him a good amount of magical power, mana and magical penetration (when evolved), and makes it easier to fight and deal damage. Manticore's Spikes comes in. This Item is a must have since its stats and passive buff is an all in all gamechanger. Its maybe not the cheapest defense Item but one of the best for Maui. But if u want to get a bit more Tanky earlier in the game with almost the same passive outcome u can choose Stone of Binding as an option.|

Manikin Scepter, Conduit Gem and Death's Toll are all optional Starter Items, but it depends on your own playstyle. As i alerady mentioned Manikin Scepter is probabaly the best choice out of the three, but the the others are viable options. Conduit Gem is a good option because it gives u all the stats u need and gives a decent little burst of damage when used right, while duelling. Death's Toll. I mean the little sustain is quite nice but the efficency of the item is not comparable to Manikin Scepter. You loose so much Dps for so little sustain.|

Ethereal Staff is a overall good item for a long time for guardians in the solo lane. It provides with some nice magical power, health and some good 20%CCR, when combined 
Spirit Robe you can cap the 40% CCR with some nice defense stats. Rod of Tahuti is also straight forward. We get some insane damage boost, 10% magic penetration and a nice passive boost for our AA. Staff of Myrddin is a absolute good choice. The amazing magical power, CDR and 10% magic penetration is a nice addition to stomp some squishy enemies. Soul Reaver is a nice option if the enemy team is a bit tanky. It helps u to cut down the big boys.|

Teleport Fragment is a must have for the solo lane this season! No need for a big explanation. |
|
|
|
If the enemy team has a lot CC or you are facing a  Da Ji or  Fenrir, i would recommend u to get Purification Beads. |
|
|
| If u want to control teamfights or shutdown other gods who are moblie or hard to catch this is a good option. |
|
|
|
Trying to help out your team from some damage, than just pick up Magic Shell. |
|
|
|
Sundering Spear is a nice choice if the enemy has tanky matchups.You also can Combo this relic by using your Ult Landfall and immediately use  Sundering Blast (Sunder upgrade) for nice damage and debuff. |

Cursed Ankh, or some teamfight boost 
Belt of Frenzy

Maui has strongly taken his place in conquest Solo/Support lane. And if you are a new Maui player, I would highly recommend playing him solo-lane until you're comfortable with his kit. Just because he is so much fun! Solo-lane provides Maui with personal minion waves to practice your skills, and extra experience from side jungle camps. Also, teammates are able to gank or help your lane if needed. (Of course, I don't recommend practicing in Conquest or any other normal/ranked modes before testing him in Practice Mode, co-op, etc.) Maui also has great potential to go Support or even Jungle. Maui isn't often seen in the role of Solo, so picking him for this roles is as already mentioned recommended, but maybe not always reliable so always consider about your team combo.|

Maui in the Solo-lane starts like any other game in Solo. Attack the Blue camp (Mana buff) and take the buff. After that, go directly to your lane and clear the first minion wave. You will most likely hit lvl 2 before your opponent, so try to fight him or maybe even go for a kill. Soon after that, your jungler should work with you to cover or gank your lane. For the first 7-10 minutes, you'll clear minion waves, poke your opponent or rotate/invade between your lane and jungle camps. Your Main Combo plus AA with Manikin Scepter works perfectly when damaging enemies in lane, and Mystical Ulua helps with keeping up fighting and sustaining a bit. Maui has no major issues with mana (when he has his mana camp consistently), which helps if you are somehow forced to stay in lane, needing to force beads with your Landfall or damage enemies. If your jungler is too busy to help you, Maui can easily deal with them alone and prevent enemies from taking there camps. When alone, though, just be aware of any enemies nearby...keep the jungle warded! Landfall,but be aware while pushing near the enemy tower makes you equally vulnerable to ganks. Rather than push to damage the tower in the early game, your best bet is to poke and keep your opponent at low health, forcing the enemy to return to base or execute them with your ult. So let them lose out on XP/gold. The main focus is to gain control over your lane and outplay your opponent. If you decide to play aggressively, I recommend buying an early Ward at the start to prevent ganks to your lane. Maui lacks reliable mobility or when surprised and this may be fatal if in the enemy team is a 
Awilix. Map control is the key to winning.|

Maui, you should take advantage of your high CC and unexpacting damage. If your mid lane is getting overpowered by the enemy and your jungler is busy helping the duo lane, you can help the mid lane to push towers or maybe get a kill with your mid and support. Maui, in particular, can be deadly to squishy enemies or opponents with no beads. Maui should have no worries getting from one place to another, since u can swing over walls and have almost permanent move speed buff with your Mystical Ulua. Consider upgrading your Teleport Fragment which helps u rotate or defend your turrets. Although rotating is important, it’s also important to maintain control of your own lane, as that is still your responsibility. Farming is still your main source of gold and XP, and losing minion waves to the tower can put you behind as you near late-game.|

Maui has good CC and his Ult Landfall can change a whole game, he is still vulnerable and can easily focus when he is outnumbered. The late game is all about winning teamfights and completing objectives. Master Fisherman or Landfall so your team can clean up the enemy u got locked in with your CC. Maui can be really destructive what comes to teamfights or defending/zoning the enemy from objectives. Mid/Late game is truly the time to rumble - What can I say except, "You're welcome" :D|

Maui has tons of potential and can be very destructive in teamfights, especially after obtaining his core items. Maui abilities can make him quite bursty if needed, and his strong CC allows him to remain useful in teamfights even when his skills are on cooldown. Just because of the early game choice of Manikin Scepter. Solar Swing deals a decent amount of damage, but it may not be wise to use it only for that. Solar Swing is Maui's primary ability to escape but also engage fights and setup for his CC, and should be used with caution. It can also be used to get your team into fights, by using your Mystical Ulua first and engage with Solar Swing to transport your teammate to your location during a teamfight. And although Maui receives movement speed and protections from Mystical Ulua , which should be enough to maintain his endurance and for his team when not focused. It can help especially your team, as it can protect or disengage teammates from a fight. Maui should often initiate a teamfight. But when alone, it's risky to face multiple enemies at once. After using Solar Swing, Maui is very vulnerable to burst damage and CC, and his quick death is of no use to your team. Remember that CC/Cripple and animation cancel of your Solar Swing is his biggest weakness. Solar Swing and land your Master Fisherman and than follow up with AA. If possible try to use your Landfall if you forced there Purification Beads or escape tool. Let your team clean the enemies up after you CC locked them. Continue to use your AA and Mystical Ulua to chase the enemy and provide protections for your team. Landfall can be used to prevent enemies from escaping as it summons a little Island which enemies can not go through or just to finish them off. Save Solar Swing sometimes for defensive purposes. If the fight isn't going as planned, you can activate it and try to help get your teammates out alive by stunning them or use your Mystical Ulua. Maui you should never be scared to attack or just land abilities. You'll know when it's time to leave, and the best way is to do it with style my Bruddah.|

Maui has strong burst and high single/Aoe CC, however he also has his weaknesses. In this section, I'll cover the basics of each potential matchup Maui may face in Solo-lane. Maui. For Example 
Mulan is a hard matchup through her high sustain and high damage output. I also consider mentioning 
King Arthur, and 
Poseidon which are quite annoying to play against. Solar Swing with its full potential you can win almost every matchups. Just focus on improving and focus on other gods what they can do to win the lane and win the game!|
