Champion Tips

Riot official

Playing as

  • Armor reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield. Activate Brutal Strikes before an enemy can destroy the shield to minimize your damage intake.
  • Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.

Playing against

  • If you're a physical damage character stay behind your allies when fighting Malphite. Ground Slam can significantly reduce your damage output.
  • Malphite is one of a couple tanks who are capable of jungling. Watch out if he gets Smite.
