Scuttle Contest

  • You win scuttle fights level 3 if you can force extended trades with Q stacks and E empowered autos, as Malphite lacks sustained damage output early.
  • From level 6, you win 1v1s when you use W to avoid his R engage and can freely auto-attack him with your max HP damage passive.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Malphite will likely start bot side for a safe clear since his early game is weak, prioritizing Krugs and Gromp for efficient farming.
  • He'll avoid early skirmishes and focus on reaching level 6 for gank opportunities with R.

Invade or Not

  • Yes, invade his topside jungle around 3:15-3:30 when he's likely doing Krugs or transitioning.
  • You can easily 1v1 him early game with your superior dueling kit, and his escape options are limited to Flash only.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W defensively against his Q poke - save it for when he commits with R or when fighting in river where enemies can collapse.
  • Avoid chasing him into unwarded areas where his team can follow up on his engage potential.
