Who Wins
- Pre-6 you win most trades with superior range and Malphite's Q poke support, especially with W slow setups.
- Post-6 you dominate with R+Malphite R combo potential, making picks extremely easy.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W to slow enemies when Malphite lands Q, then follow up with auto attacks while they're slowed and chunked.
- Focus on consistent auto attack trades rather than ability rotations, as your DPS is higher sustained.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Maintain freeze near your tower to set up Malphite R engages, as enemies must overextend to break it.
- Only hard push when you have vision control and want to recall or roam with Malphite.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste R on single targets unless it guarantees a kill, as the cooldown is too valuable for teamfight initiation.
- Never trade auto attacks in Jinx rocket range without Malphite Q available to disengage.
