Beta
Malphite is a powerful counter-pick against AD champions; aim for him as a late pick if enemy AP counters (Sylas, Mordekaiser, etc.) are absent. Prioritize defensive tank items like Iceborn Gauntlet and Thornmail, as they synergize best with his kit, and generally avoid full AP builds for more reliable team contribution. Leverage his easy-to-play kit with strong teamfight ultimate engages and consistent lane poke with Q to maintain pressure and scale effectively.

Tip

Ekko has a unique motion when he uses Parallel Convergence (W). Keep an eye out for this motion to avoid it! Be careful of a leveling gap as Ekko is a faster jungler than Malphite.
