Learn how to play with Malphite with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Malphite has his R available, prepare to follow up with your damaging abilities or crowd control. His 1.5 second knockup creates a perfect window to land otherwise difficult-to-hit abilities like skillshots or delayed AoE spells.
Team Fight
Coordinate with Malphite when he reaches level 6. His R provides reliable engage from long range, making his lane a high-priority gank target. Plan your path to be near top lane around this time.
Basic Lane Phase
When grouping with Malphite, place Control Wards in side bushes and entrances to objectives. His R engage is most effective when coming from unexpected angles where enemies have limited time to react.
Team Fight
Track Malphite's R cooldown (130/105/80 seconds at ranks 1/2/3). When it's available, look to group and force fights or objectives. When it's down, be more cautious as his engage threat is significantly reduced.
Team Fight Skirmish
Focus the same targets as Malphite during skirmishes. His E reduces enemy attack speed by up to 50% for 3 seconds, making champions like ADCs and auto-attackers significantly weaker while affected.
Team Fight Skirmish
Prioritize objectives during the mid-game (15-25 minutes) when Malphite is strongest. With multiple ranks in his R and reduced cooldown, he can force advantageous fights around objectives with his reliable engage.
Team Fight
Don't expect much early game pressure from Malphite before level 6. He's vulnerable to poke and needs time to scale, so focus your early attention on other lanes or help him survive until his power spike.
Basic Lane Phase
In late-game fights against dive compositions, communicate whether you need Malphite to engage or peel. His abilities can protect carries against assassins and divers, especially his point-and-click Q slow and R knockup.
Advanced Team Fight Late Game
Position near Malphite during team fights if the enemy team has assassins or divers. His E ability has a 400 unit radius that reduces enemy attack speed by up to 50%, making him an effective protector against auto-attack threats.
Team Fight
When chasing or kiting with Malphite, take advantage of his Q slow. It not only slows enemies by 20-40% but also gives him matching movement speed, creating opportunities to engage or disengage as a team.
