Malphite Build Guide
Malphite remains a top lane staple against heavy AD compositions, and on patch 16.13.1 he posts a strong 51.61% winrate with 6.96% pickrate in ranked play. He is also viable in the jungle for players wanting a different tempo. Arcane Comet is his keystone pick, adding poke damage to his otherwise tank-oriented kit.
His build begins with Sunfire Aegis for area damage and health, followed by Thornmail to counter auto-attack reliant threats, then Frozen Heart for armor and attack speed reduction. Skills prioritize Q, then E, then W, leaning on Seismic Shard for poke and slow. The full path, rune tree, and counter matchups are outlined in the guide below.
