Who Wins
- You win early levels 1-3 due to your Q knockup and higher base damage, but Malphite becomes stronger at level 6.
- His ultimate gives him kill pressure and better all-in potential that you cannot match.
How to Trade
- You should trade with Q-W-E combo when Malphite uses abilities on minions, then back off immediately.
- Extended trades favor Malphite due to his passive shield and armor scaling.
Wave Control
- You want to push waves early to establish level advantages and roam for picks with your silence and knockup.
- Avoid letting Malphite freeze the wave as he scales better in extended laning phases.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your Q predictably when Malphite has his ultimate available as he can easily dodge and engage.
- Don't build full AP early as Malphite's armor scaling will make you irrelevant in trades.
