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 Lillia

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Hug her or back off from her Q

    Against Blooming Blows (Q), stick to her or back out of range: only the outer edge of the zone adds true damage.

  2. Leave the center of her W

    Get out of the center of Watch Out! Eep! (W): the zone deals much more damage there than at the edge.

  3. Dodge her spells, seed included

    Dodge her spells, even Swirlseed (E), which rolls to the first enemy: each one marks you for Lilting Lullaby (R), which puts every marked enemy to sleep.

  4. Save your CC for her

    If you have CC, use it on her: with no dash, she relies on the move speed Blooming Blows (Q) gives her for each spell that hits.
