Who Wins

  • You lose pre-6 trades due to Malphite's Q poke and armor scaling, but can look for extended trades at level 3 with E-Q-W combo if he wastes Q.
  • Post-6 you win all-ins if you dodge his R with your E return or Flash, as your sustained damage output heavily outscales his burst.

How to Trade

  • Your best trading pattern is E forward into Q3-W-auto-Q combo, then return with E to avoid his retaliation.
  • Only commit to extended trades when his Q is on cooldown, as the slow makes it difficult to stick to him for your full combo.

Wave Control

  • Push waves early to build Q stacks and look for roam opportunities, as you cannot effectively trade in a long lane against his poke.
  • After level 6, maintain wave control near your side to have space for extended fights where you can utilize your mobility advantage.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't take repeated Q poke without trading back, as his mana costs are low and the damage adds up significantly.
  • Avoid using E aggressively when his R is available unless you're certain you can kill him, as getting caught in his combo can result in your death.
