MetaBot Tips
  • Malphite is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
  • Malphite has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.

Playing Malphite

  • Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.
  • 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 Malphite

  • 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.
