    Malphite Counter Build Advice

    When facing Malphite's top counters like Gwen, DrMundo, Renekton, consider adjusting your situational items to increase survivability and match their damage output. If counter champions are building high damage, prioritize magic resistance items against AP threats in your situational item slots to reduce burst damage and improve trading potential. Focus on completing your core damage items before heavily investing in defensive situational items, as Malphite needs sufficient damage to remain a threat in counter matchups. Adapt your final build slots with items like Jak'Sho, The Protean or Randuin's Omen based on which counter champions you're facing and their itemization patterns. Monitor enemy builds and adjust accordingly for optimal Malphite performance.
