Malphite Matchups Overview
Malphite General information
Malphite tips and tricks
Use your Q as often as possible (while playing around Arcane Comet) to harass the enemy. Avoid running out of mana trying to poke though.
If you’re building full AP Malphite Support, try to harass the enemy as much as possible before committing your Ultimate Rto kill them.
In team fights, you can either look for a multi-person knockup with your Ultimate R, or try to isolate a target that’s overextended and too far forward.
