Scuttle Contest
- You win scuttle fights at level 3 due to your range advantage and mobility with Q, while Malphite lacks gap-closing tools early.
- From level 6, you can only guarantee wins if you maintain distance and kite perfectly - his R engage will kill you if you're caught without your own R available.
Predicted Jungle Path
- Malphite will likely start bot side for a safer clear, taking krugs/gromp first then working toward his buff, as his early clear is slow and vulnerable.
- He'll prioritize reaching level 6 quickly over early ganking since his pre-6 ganks are weak without reliable engage.
Invade or Not
- Yes, invade his topside jungle around 3:15-3:30 when he's likely doing his second buff after starting bot.
- His clear speed is slow and he has no escape tools early, making him an easy target if you catch him low on camps.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get overconfident and chase him into unwarded areas after level 6 - his R-E-Q combo will instantly delete you.
- Avoid fighting near walls or in jungle chokes where his R becomes unavoidable, always maintain vision of his position in teamfights.
