AD Bruiser Malph

PatMcGroyn··1 votes·638 views

Recently, I've been playing around with a slightly bruisery Malphite build, for jungle & top lane. I normally go for an early Iceborn Gauntlet (2'nd item if I'm going against an AP laner), then I'll go for a BotRK later in the game. I know that building AP or Magic Pen will give him more burst with his R + E + Q combo, but I find that the sustained damage from IBG and BotRK, as well as the utility those items bring, is pretty nice. A recent example:

I call it Splitpush Malphite, but this is a ton of fun. Thanks for reminding me to try it out again.

Black Cleaver, max the W, build lots of armor. Finish strong with a Hydra for an extra E.

Try out Tiamat/Hydra. Hilariously, due to Malphite's splash damage passive, there are some instances where the enemies around Malphite take more damage than the target he's hitting.

Bruiser Malph is a good build, though thankfully Malph is someone that can still go full tank at any time when needed.

For that build though I like Hydra as a third/fourth item. The combo splash damage makes you a split pushing monster.

I feel like IBG makes Malph's waveclear godly enough, plus I think BotRK scales better than Hydra, and the MS drain is like having another Q while it's on CD.
