Malphite Matchups

Hard Counters

Sylas★★★

Sylas steals your Unstoppable Force and uses it better with his AP scaling and combo.

Mordekaiser★★★

Mordekaiser sustained magic damage shreds through your armor stacking and he wins extended trades.

Gwen★★★

Gwen true damage from Q ignores your armor stacking and she outsustains you in lane.

Favorable Matchups

Yasuo

Your armor stacking makes Yasuo deal no damage and your ult knocks him up through windwall.

Tryndamere

Tryndamere auto-attack reliance is hard-countered by your armor stacking and attack speed slow.

Riven

Riven all-physical damage is useless against your passive shield and armor stacking.

General Laning Tips

• 1.Stack armor and use your passive shield to survive lane then dominate teamfights with R.
• 2.Save ult for grouped enemies in teamfights rather than using it to engage on a single target.
• 3.Use Q to poke and slow enemies in lane to set up ganks for your jungler.
