Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 convincingly with your mobility and sustained damage output against Malphite's weak early game.
- At level 6, Malphite becomes significantly more dangerous with his ultimate engage potential, but you still maintain kill pressure if you play around his cooldowns.
How to Trade
- You should look for short trades using Q-auto-E combos to proc your passive and disengage before Malphite can retaliate with his full combo.
- Extended trades favor you early, but avoid fighting when his W shield is up as it reduces your damage significantly.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain a slow push or freeze near your side of the lane to deny Malphite farm while staying safe from ganks.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall, as Malphite scales well with items and you don't want to give him free farm under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never fight Malphite when he has his ultimate available and you're low on health, as his R-W-E-Q combo can easily kill you.
- Don't chase him too deep into his side of the map, as his team fight potential makes him valuable even when behind in lane.
