Learn how to play with Malphite with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Malphite's R knocks enemies up, immediately follow up with your own damage or crowd control — the 1.5 second knockup is one of the longest disables in the game and punishes any hesitation.
Team Fight
Malphite is weak before level 6 with no way to punish poke, but once his R (Unstoppable Force) comes online, watch top lane for sudden gank setups — his long-range unstoppable engage can flip a losing lane into a pick.
Basic Lane Phase
Malphite's E cripples nearby enemies' attack speed by up to 50% for 3 seconds in a short radius around him — group your fights so auto-attack reliant champions get caught in it.
Skirmish Team Fight
Malphite top typically hits his strongest window in the mid-game once he has his core items — expect him to look for picks with his R around objectives during this period.
Team Fight
After Malphite's Q slows a target, he gains matching movement speed for the duration — expect him to close distance fast right after landing it, which is a good signal he's about to commit to an all-in.
Skirmish Lane Phase
Give Malphite a brief window without taking damage before diving into an objective fight — his passive shield (10% max health) only replenishes to full strength after a short damage-free period, adding to his effective health when it's up.
Team Fight
Malphite's R travels up to twice as fast when aimed through the middle of a wall, letting him engage from farther away than expected — don't assume you're safe from his ultimate just because he looks out of range.
Advanced Team Fight
