Threats & Synergies

Threats

Extreme Major Even Minor Tiny

Show All

None Low Ok Strong Ideal

Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Galio

Extreme

Counters all of your kit.

Sylas

Extreme

You're just giving him one of the best ults he can have...

Mel

Extreme

Bch literally has built in Zhonya and can reflect your only poke in lane while having a million miles range...

Cassiopeia

Major

Just keeps poking you... Her W also disables your Ult since it counts as a dash.

Dr. Mundo

Major

Outscales Malphite.

Mordekaiser

Major

He's just gonna ult and kill you in teamfights. Better engage first, and die anyway but do something with your death :/

Malzahar

Major

You're just not gonna win lane vs this guy. Play for the team.

Nocturne

Major

Better engage first. Nocturne's R in teamfights can fk up your engages since you won't have vision. Good players can also just spellshield your R.

Kindred

Major

Can fk up your engages with his R.

Cho'Gath

Even

Malphite wants to fight against AD champs so any AP tank counters you. Cho is an example.

Anivia

Even

And any long ranged ap champ. You just can't win trades vs them.

Lulu

Even

And any support that can keep their allies alive. If you don't kill, you get killed.

Miss Fortune

Ideal

Gimme your R :)
Instant follow up damage.

Orianna

Ideal

Gimme your ball :/
Instant follow up damage.

Yasuo

Ideal

The legendary Duos :)
assuming they don't try hitting the 0/10 power spikes...

Amumu

Ideal

His ultimate range is much bigger than Malphite, so he can setup some good ults. Be good friends, eh?

Rumble

Ideal

His ultimate does the most dmg in the game. No?
If you time your ults properly it will be a perfect wombo combo.

Diana

Ideal

Ult Synergy.
She has a bigger ultimate and some delay with the damage, so you have to try to time it up a little. Best time is after she pulls the enemies. Your ult stun would make sure they won't flash or dash out. It's a guide for low elo though, just press R together and it will work out :/

Kayle

Ideal

Ult Synergy.
The damage isn't instant but at least you won't be dying if something goes wrong.

Galio

Ideal

Ult Synergy. You'll be delivering a Galio to the enemy team xD
You can choose where you want to engage for the teamfight with him on your team. Good for objective fights since they're usually in tight places.

Aurelion Sol

Strong

Ideal with Empowered R, Strong normal R.

Seraphine

Strong

A bunch of AoE damage and CC to work with.

Neeko

Strong

Tricky Tricky... She can setup some good ultimates for you.

Fiddlesticks

Strong

These 2 can win every team fight by themselves :|
(But they both end up missing their ults every single time, so...)

Wukong

Strong

His engages are less predictable because of the W invisibility so you can setup some good ults together.

Jarvan IV

Strong

Ult Synergy. Our little cage :)
He doesn't do much damage on normal builds and has a harder time than other champions to get a good ultimate (since it's usually so obvious that he's running at you). But keep dreaming. Good things can happen.

Kennen

Strong

CHIDORI Ult Synergy!

Kalista

Strong

Ambulance :)
Assassinate the enemy carry ang get out :/

Shen

Strong

Delivering Shen to enemy backline... And you'll be alive for longer.

Rell

Any Supports with good engages are fine with Malphite. Prioritizing damage is more important than just cc though.

Sylas

Technically, He can have any ult, so...
Any long ranged or engage AoE spell is good with Malphite. These mages are some examples.
