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 Jayce

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Watch for the orb behind his gate

    When he places Acceleration Gate (E), expect Shock Blast (Q) through it: the orb gains speed, range and damage.

  2. Back off when he goes hammer

    If you have range, back off when he switches to hammer: Mercury Hammer (R) makes him tankier, and he can't go back to cannon for 6 seconds.

  3. Engage after his Thundering Blow

    Engage after Thundering Blow (E): it's his only knockback, and it has a 20 to 10 second cooldown.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive the laning phase, play for time: Jayce is strongest early, when his cannon range dominates the lane.
