Heavy armor stack that punishes attackers
- Iceborn Gauntlet
- Thornmail
- Frozen Heart
- Force of Nature
- Amaranth's Twinguard
- Armored Advance
When you farm top yourself and enemy damage comes from basic attacks
Armor comes to 295 and Max Health to 1000. Thornmail returns (20 + 6% bonus AR + 1% bonus HP) magic damage to whoever strikes you with an attack, and puts 50% Grievous Wounds on enemy champions for 3 seconds when they hit you or you damage them. Frozen Heart's Chill lands for 3 seconds when basic-attack or magic damage passes either way, then drops enemy attack speed by 9% per stack, reaching 36% at four stacks. Armored Advance shaves 10% off damage taken from champion attacks.
Support build that feeds the lane's farm to an ally
- Relic Shield
- Plated Steelcaps
- Hollow Radiance
- Iceborn Gauntlet
- Amaranth's Twinguard
- Banshee's Veil
When you play support and hand the lane's farm to your ally instead
Relic Shield is a support item: gold from your minion kills goes to the nearest ally, while Tribute pays you 65 gold and restores 20-80 HP. Hollow Radiance burns nearby enemies each second for 20-30 plus 1% bonus HP over 5 seconds while you are in combat. Banshee's Veil grants a spell shield that blocks the next hostile ability, on a 30 second cooldown.

Base Stats
League of Legends: Wild Rift (China) official champion library (patch 7.2, as of 2026-08-25)
The site's latest patch is 7.2d, but these figures come from 7.2. The 8 champions adjusted since then — Yone, Jinx, Leona, Rumble, Nasus, Ryze, Jayce, Nidalee — no longer match the live game.
A three-step guide set by the official champion library. For difficulty, a higher number means harder to play.
Critical damage is 175% for every champion. These figures exclude items and runes.
Malphite Strengths
- ✓Ult can decide a teamfight with a single engage
- ✓High armor makes him very sturdy against AD-heavy comps
Malphite Weaknesses
- ×Pressure drops sharply while Ult is on cooldown
- ×Vulnerable to sustained magic damage that burns through his MR and HP
Early Game
In the early lane, trade by poking with Skill 1 and using its movement speed bonus. Mana runs out fast, so do not waste casts. Step forward to collect CS once the passive shield has come back.
Mid Game
Learning Ult at Level 5 raises your kill pressure a step. Whenever Ult is ready, do not cling to the lane; join your jungler's ganks and roams to stack kills.
Late Game
Late game, do not split-push alone; move with the team and look for the teamfight. The moment Flash and Ult are both up is when you can decide the game.
Teamfights
Set your sights on the enemy backline (ADC and mages) and engage without hesitation. Knock up several enemies with Ult and create a spot where your team deals damage freely.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
Holding Ult or hitting the wrong target
From Level 5 on, hesitating with Ult at a kill chance is a mistake to avoid. So is spending it on a single tanky front-liner. The goal is to knock up several squishy carries (ADC and mages) at once. Use ambushes from out of vision and Flash combos to reach the backline with your engage.
Malphite Combos
Basic Harass
The standard laning trade: slow with Skill 1, then cut their attack speed with Skill 3.
Full Combo
Initiate the fight with Ult, then chain Skill 3, Skill 1 and Skill 2.
