Playing as Malphite

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Wait for them to group for R

    Save Unstoppable Force (R) for when the enemy carries are grouped: nothing stops your charge, and the impact knocks every enemy in the area into the air.

  2. Steal speed with Seismic Shard

    Cast Seismic Shard (Q) before engaging or to escape: it slows the target and gives you the speed it steals.

  3. Trade with your shield up

    Take your trades while Granite Shield (passive) is up: it absorbs 10% of your max health, and Thunderclap (W) then triples your bonus armor.

  4. Ground Slam against attackers

    Against a champion who lives on autos, start your trades with Ground Slam (E): it lowers their attack speed, and its damage scales with your armor.

Playing against Corki

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't count on your minions

    Don't count on your minions against Missile Barrage (R): each missile explodes on impact and damages enemies around it, you included.

  2. Leave his Gatling cone

    Get out of the Gatling Gun (E) cone rather than trading inside it: it lowers your armor and magic resist while it fires.

  3. Avoid brushes hit by his bomb

    Don't rely on a brush hit by Phosphorus Bomb (Q): the area and the champions hit stay revealed for a few seconds.

  4. Engage after his dash

    If you can engage, wait until Valkyrie (W) or Special Delivery is used: he's then vulnerable, with no way to reposition.
