Scuttle Contest

  • You win scuttle fights at level 3 through superior burst damage with Q-E-W combo and sustain advantage from W healing.
  • From level 6, you maintain 1v1 advantage unless Malphite lands a perfect R engage when you're low HP - stay above 60% health and save E to dodge his ultimate.

Predicted Jungle Path

  • Malphite will likely full clear and avoid early confrontation, focusing on farming to level 6 where his gank potential increases significantly.
  • He may attempt vertical jungling if you start on the same side, or look for counter-ganks rather than direct invades.

Invade or Not

  • You should invade Malphite's jungle frequently in the early game, particularly at his krugs or red buff after level 3.
  • Your best invade timing is when you see him on the opposite side of the map, as he lacks mobility to respond quickly and you can steal camps or force unfavorable fights.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid getting caught by Malphite's R when you're below 60% HP, as his full combo can burst you down before you can heal with W.
  • Don't waste your E dash aggressively without vision, as Malphite players often set up ambushes in jungle choke points where his R is guaranteed to hit.
