Malphite ARAM Build 26.22

Malphite Item Build

Armor pulls double weight on Malphite, blunting the poke war on the choke while powering Ground Slam's shockwave, which scales straight off it, so a team jammed shoulder to shoulder on the bridge hands that armor-fed slam a full pack to wash over and strip the attack speed of every carry caught inside.

Best Malphite Runes

Dark Harvest anchors a Malphite page built for the grouped fights on the bridge, where the enemy team is always clumped exactly where his Unstoppable Force wants them. His kit only needs one window to flip the pile and follow with Ground Slam, and the constant 5v5 on the choke hands him that window again and again. Fill the rest so he reaches the fight and lands the engage.

Malphite Skill Order

The Unstoppable Force points at 6, 11 and 16 are spaced around a Seismic Shard max that finishes at level 9, the ability that steals the move speed to reach them. Ground Slam only begins climbing at 8, so the armor scaling matures after the engage tool does.

Malphite ARAM Abilities

Thunderclap barely rates a level yet still matters, charging his next few swings so they throw aftershocks out in front of him. Ground Slam is the reason armor doubles as offense, dealing magic damage off his own armor while cutting the attack speed of everyone caught.
