When Malzahar reaches level 6, coordinate ganks with his ultimate (R), which suppresses an enemy champion for 2.5 seconds. This guaranteed crowd control creates perfect opportunities for follow-up damage and securing kills.
Basic Lane Phase Skirmish
When Malzahar uses his R, he's immobile for 2.5 seconds and vulnerable to enemy attacks. Position yourself between him and potential threats, or be ready to counter-engage if enemies try to punish his immobility.
Team Fight Skirmish
Malzahar's passive (Void Shift) appears as a purple shield, providing him crowd control immunity and 90% damage reduction. Engage when this shield is active, as he can safely follow up without being interrupted by enemy crowd control.
Skirmish Team Fight
Wait to use your stuns, roots, or knockups until after Malzahar's 2.5-second suppression from his R ends. This creates an extended lockdown chain that prevents enemies from escaping or retaliating after his ultimate finishes.
Team Fight Skirmish
Malzahar's exceptional waveclear with his E, Q, and W creates map pressure by mid-game. When he pushes a side lane, use this opportunity to secure vision control or prepare for objectives on the opposite side of the map.
Late Game
In teamfights, prioritize targets affected by Malzahar's E (Malefic Visions), visible as a purple effect. When these targets die, the effect spreads to nearby enemies, maximizing team damage output.
Team Fight
Malzahar is immobile and vulnerable to flanks, especially when pushing waves. Place wards in river entrances and jungle paths leading to mid lane to protect him from surprise engages.
Basic Lane Phase Late Game
Malzahar's passive has a long cooldown (30/24/18/12 seconds based on level). When it's down (no purple shield visible), delay engages until it recovers, as he'll be vulnerable to crowd control and burst damage.
Team Fight Skirmish
When Malzahar uses his R, he creates a Null Zone under the target that deals percentage health damage to all enemies in the area. Position near this zone to force multiple enemies to take this additional damage.
Advanced Team Fight
Malzahar's E (Malefic Visions) jumps to nearby enemies when the infected target dies. Help him clear minion waves faster by damaging infected minions to trigger the spread effect, allowing for quicker rotations and map pressure.
