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 Dr. Mundo

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Stay behind your minions: Infected Bonesaw (Q) hits the first enemy, and it's his only ranged spell to slow you.

  2. Save your best CC for later

    If you have several CCs, lead with the least valuable: Goes Where He Pleases (passive) lets him resist the first immobilizing effect.

  3. Don't focus him during his R

    Don't keep hitting him during Maximum Dosage (R): he regenerates part of his max health for the whole duration and gains move speed.

  4. Target his carries in teamfights

    In teamfights, target his carries rather than him: Goes Where He Pleases (passive) gives him far stronger health regen than normal.
