Who Wins
- You win trades pre-6 through sustained combat with Q auto-resets and W attack speed, as Malphite lacks meaningful damage early.
- Post-6 you still win extended fights by ulting his armor and healing through W, but his R engage makes short trades more dangerous.
How to Trade
- Look for extended trades where you can Q him, auto, then chase with W active while he tries to disengage with Q slow.
- Your sustain through passive and W healing lets you win wars of attrition that Malphite cannot match.
Wave Control
- Push early waves to establish pressure since Malphite has poor waveclear pre-6 and wants to farm safely.
- After 6, maintain slow pushes to deny his roam potential while staying healthy enough to survive his R engage attempts.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get poked down by his Q repeatedly without trading back, as this negates your sustain advantage.
- Avoid fighting in large minion waves where his E can hit both you and minions for maximum damage.
