How it works

General
  1. You use your R frequently, thanks to Axiom Arc cooldown reduction.
  2. You try to use your Rs with First Strike, to boost damage and earn gold.
  3. Liandry's Torment works with Axiom Arc (bigger window of R cooldown reduction because of burn effects).

How to play

General
  1. Rush #1 Liandry's Torment, #2 Axiom Arc.
  2. You can use R just to poke enemies. 100+ gold First Strike ensured!
  3. Usually wait for First Strike and proc it with your R. Be careful to not get poked, because you waste First Strike procs.
  4. Late in the game, you can sell boots and go for sixth AP item.
  5. The Collector works surprisingly well with DoTs. You can buy it if you are ahead or want to test this out.

Tips and Tricks

General
  1. You can block enemy skillshots or trigger enemy traps/boxes/saplings with your Void Swarm (W)! You can place them anywhere near you, and they will be summoned at the target location. So use that to block projectiles or to destroy stuff.
Riot
  1. Wait to cast Void Swarm until there are nearby enemies for the Voidling to attack or kill.
  2. Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies.
  3. Avoiding damage in lane maximizes the uptime on Void Shift, increasing Malzahar's safety dramatically.
