Scuttle Contest

  • You win scuttle fights level 3 through superior DPS and healing from your passive, as Malphite lacks burst damage early and his Q slow won't prevent your all-in potential.
  • Post-6, you can only guarantee 1v1 wins when Malphite has used his R elsewhere or when you can bait it out and disengage with your own R, then re-engage when it's down.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Malphite will likely start bot side for a safer leash and path toward top, prioritizing full clears over early ganks due to his weak pre-6 presence.
  • He'll focus on reaching level 6 quickly and look for counter-ganks or ganks on overextended lanes where his R can guarantee kills.

Invade or Not

  • You should invade Malphite's jungle frequently in the early game, particularly at his second buff around 3:15-3:30 when he's low on health from clearing.
  • Target his krugs or gromp camps post-6 when you know his R is down, as he cannot contest you without his ultimate available.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid chasing Malphite too deep into his jungle when his R is available, as he can easily escape or turn the fight with proper positioning near walls.
  • Don't underestimate his mid-game teamfight impact - even if you're ahead individually, his R can single-handedly win skirmishes for his team.
