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 Renekton

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade when he's under 50 Fury

    Take a trade when his Fury is under 50: above that, Ruthless Predator (W) destroys your shields and stuns you twice as long.

  2. Trade after his dashes

    Take a trade once he has used both Slice and Dice (E) dashes: it's his only way to reach you or get out, on a 16 to 10 second cooldown.

  3. Back off when he casts Dominus

    Once he hits level 6, back off when he casts Dominus (R): he gains max health, builds Fury every second, and damages enemies around him.

  4. Drag the game out

    If you survive his first minutes, play for time: Renekton looks to get ahead in lane, before everyone has their items.
