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 Trundle

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Draw him out of his domain

    Don't fight in Frozen Domain (W): he gains move speed, attack speed and increased healing inside. Back off to draw him out of the zone.

  2. Back off after his Chomp

    If you deal physical damage, back off after his Chomp (Q): it steals some of your attack damage for a few seconds, and he gains it.

  3. Get away from his pillar fast

    Get away from Pillar of Ice (E) as fast as you can: it slows nearby enemies and blocks the path while it stands.

  4. Back off when he steals your resists

    Back off when he casts Subjugate (R) on you: he steals part of your armor and magic resist, and gains what you lose.
