Malzahar Item Build
Malzahar Item build makes use of his (E). This done by Building Rylai’s Crystal Scepter, combo that with a Liandry’s Torment. With this Malzahar Item Build, you receive a lot of extra slows from your abilities. Plus the bonus of being tanky thanks to all the HP stacked threw this Malzahar Build. With the Rod of Ages or Hextech GLP, your looking at close to 3k HP after your 3rd item. Enemy players are not going to want to mess with you, if they do your rylai’s slow will make sure they dont kill you. This LoL Build is rather effective on most AP Carrys, we encourage player to experiment with it on other mid lane champions.
Runes
Now for Malzahar Runes, there are fairly simple rune page. The early defensive stat help, but the Magic Pen mark runes are a must. The best way to top of any AP Carry rune page, is by giving them that extra flat 15 AP.
Masteries
Malzahar Masteries will be focused on getting more overall damage. Since you can already do tons of damage with this Malzahar Build, these mastery choices will further enable you. One notable Synergy in this Malzahar Build, is between Liandry’s Torment & DeathFire Torch. One top of all the extra damage you will get from Sorcery, Merciless, Bounty Hunter Masteries.
Skill Order
Malzahar Skill Order for mid lane is one that can push lanes fast. Now that malzahar has his voidling to help, its never been easier to out push your opponent. Maxing your (E) fits perfectly into this Malzahar Item Build, making use of the rylai’s slow threw the damage over time.
