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 Nunu & Willump

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Change direction against his snowball

    Change direction sharply when Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) comes at you: it moves fast, but he turns slowly while pushing it.

  2. Move away from Willump

    If the Snowball Barrage (E) snowballs slow you, move away from Willump: when the spell ends, he roots slowed enemies close to him.

  3. Leave his blizzard fast

    Get out of Absolute Zero (R) fast, or interrupt it if you have CC: the slow grows stronger, and the explosion hurts more the longer he channels.

  4. Don't leave him alone on an objective

    Don't leave him alone on an objective: Consume (Q) deals true damage to monsters and adds to his Smite to finish the dragon.
