Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to Malzahar's range advantage and your lack of gap closers, forcing you to take poke while farming.
- Post-6 you become heavily favored as your R-Q-W combo can kill him through his R shield if you save E to dodge his ultimate.
How to Trade
- You want short Q-W-auto trades when his abilities are on cooldown, immediately using E to disengage before he can retaliate.
- Your kill combo post-6 is R-Q-W-ignite, saving E to dodge his R or escape ganks.
Wave Control
- You should focus on farming safely and looking for roam opportunities when Malzahar pushes waves.
- Let him push early levels, then look to freeze near your tower post-6 to set up all-ins with jungle assistance.
Mistakes to Avoid
- You cannot engage when Malzahar has passive shield up, as it blocks your initial damage and allows him to turn with full combo.
- Don't use E aggressively without vision of enemy jungler, as you'll have no escape tool if ganked.
