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 Singed

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Don't chase him

    Don't chase Singed: behind him, Poison Trail (Q) damages you every second, and that's what he wants.

  2. Get out of his glue fast

    Get out of Mega Adhesive (W) fast: the glue slows and grounds you, so you can't dash.

  3. Keep your distance

    If you're ranged, keep your distance: Fling (E) only works in melee range, and it throws you behind him, toward his allies.

  4. CC on him, damage on them

    If you have CC, use it on Singed when he dives, then hit his allies: he's hard to bring down, but he has to come into melee range.
