Who Wins
- You lose most pre-6 trades due to Malphite's Q slow and poke, but you have kill pressure post-6 with R engage combos.
- Level 2 E gives you some trading potential, but Malphite's early game is generally stronger.
How to Trade
- Use E to engage when Malphite wastes Q or is low on mana, then combo with stacked Q and W shield.
- Keep trades short and return to safety with E, as extended fights favor Malphite's sustained damage and armor scaling.
Wave Control
- Let Malphite push early, then freeze the wave near your tower to create longer lanes for E engages.
- Avoid pushing into him as his E waveclear is superior and he becomes ungankable under tower.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't E engage when Malphite has R available, as he can easily counter-engage and turn the fight.
- Avoid trading when you're low on health, as Malphite's R-Q combo can easily secure kills even through your W shield.
