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 Fiora

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take short trades: each Vital she hits with Duelist's Dance (passive) heals her and speeds her up.

  2. Wait for her Riposte before your CC

    If you have CC, wait until Riposte (W) is used: if it parries an immobilizing effect, her stab stuns you instead of slowing you.

  3. Trade after her Lunge

    Take a trade when Lunge (Q) has just whiffed: without an enemy hit, its cooldown isn't reduced, and it's her only dash.

  4. Send two to answer her split

    Answer her split push with two players rather than alone: in a duel, Grand Challenge (R) reveals four Vitals and speeds her up near her target.
