[2.3] Malphite Guide - AP Mid Malphite

Super squishy target, which is chum for you. Once you get Luden's Echo you should pop her buns very easily. Stay away from her Light Binding as it stops you from using Unstoppable Force and allows her to combo you.

Oh, what's this? A free victory? Oh yeah, it is. GGWP Seraphine. Has little damage, no shields, resistances or health and no escapes. Literally the dream for Malphite players.

Can't dodge your Seismic Shard and if she uses Twilight Shroud you can just fly into her smoke and use Ground Slam to kill her. Just keep your distance, poke and engage when she is low

Same as Seraphine. Squishy, no health and low damage. His gold card doesn't work against your Unstoppable Force . Poke, and then finish him.

She is easy before level 5 as her Disintegrate can be avoided by hiding behind minions. However, after 5 she will use Summon: Tibbers to stun you and delete you with her combo. You have to make sure she doesn't get that chance by engaging first.

Play aggressive in the early game - Play defensive after 5. Focus her in team fights.

His Celestial Expansion has quite a long range so make sure you run away or fully commit after using Seismic Shard . After you both reach level 5, he has a bit of an upper edge as he can throw you back with Voice Of Light and then stun you with Starsurge , which stops you from sticking on to him. I recommend being as aggressive as possible in the early stages and after you both get level 5, just poke him if you can and then kill him. If you can't then focus on other lanes, and just prioritize farming minions at mid.

Very annoying as she can poke you from behind minions with Orb Of Deception . If she hits you with Charm then she will more or less force you to recall so make sure you stay behind minions to avoid that. After your level 5, you should be able to poke her down with Seismic Shard and kill her with Unstoppable Force .

Just be careful early game. If she gets a few kills it will be hard to take care of her.

Orianna is one of the best pokers in the game, and can bully you with auto attacks and electrocute or aery. Play safe until level 5. After that you can poke her with Seismic Shard and run away. You should be hitting through her Command: Protect . Counter her with Unstoppable Force when she uses Command: Shockwave as Malphite is unstoppable when flying in/out.

If you stay behind minions - There's nothing he can do until after level 5. Your Granite Shield will eat all his Razor Shuriken and he will have very little damage against you. Just make sure you don't die in the early phase as he can snowball out of control by roaming into other lanes and coming back to lane as a giga fed assassin.

Tips for playing against Zed;

• Stand behind minions to reduce Q damage
• Avoid his W+E+Q combo by keeping distance or dodging it
• Buy Stasis Enchant to negate the damage from his ultimate

Rush [Stasis enchant] to counter him after level 5. Until then, just poke him with [malphite:1]. If he engages on you, use your combo quickly and run away. Be wary that he can dive you under turret with the help of Playful / Trickster if you have low health.

Also be aware that he can dodge your Unstoppable Force with Playful / Trickster , so make sure he has it on cooldown before you fly in.
