How it works
- You rush Thornmail.
- You go full Armor.
- Hit or miss. Works only if an enemy team is full of physical melee damage dealers. Otherwise, play regular tank build.
How to play
- How is this Thornmail build for Malphite different to regular tank builds? Item order, Armor stacking and countering enemy physical damage dealers!
- This build is aimed to counter AD comps. Since you don't know the enemy team, you need to adapt in game. It is hit or miss. If they are heavy AP - just play regular tank.
- Late game, you can consider selling boots for 6th item - for even more sweet Thornmail damage!
- Remember to consume your Grasp of the Undying procs!
- You can rush Thornmail as first item against full AD team.
- Against AD team, you can max E, or even W for sweet Thornmail damage.
- Wait for your Passive to be up, before engaging or going in and to prevent poke.
- You are the spikiest when your Granite Shield (Passive) is up, thanks to tons of additional Armor from your Thunderclap (W).
- You don't need boots for this build. You have good mobility - Q for speed, Snowball/Ult for reach.
Tips and Tricks
General
- You can surprise enemies by facing other directions before ulting.
Riot
- Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.
- Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.
Skill Order
- Seismic ShardQ
- ThunderclapW
- Ground SlamE
