How to play it

✓

Snowball him early

Your one real kill window is before his first back: abuse him while his passive shield is down, because after his first reset he's near-impossible to solo-kill.

✓

Beware his E

Ground Slam slows your attack speed and guts your trade DPS: only commit when his E is down, and pop W to ride out the slow if he lands it.

✓

Play around his R

His ult is a free gank setup and one R mid can flip the game: ping his roams and don't stack up with your team in fights.

✕

Never clump with your team in a fight: a single Malphite R can flip the whole game.
