Sure go for it!

Its because of this amazing work that I joined Mobafire. Thank you for your detailed guide!

Such kind words, thank you! I'll do my utmost to keep this updated. Sometimes I've let it fall into stagnation but no longer.

Any chance you update this build soon since Moonstone rework and/or Mythic removal ?

Late reply but I spent last night going over Malzahar's build for the new season! It will take me some time to figure out jungle strategy however as the meta shakes out some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbwM-ExFKsU

This is legit

I love this guy

The skill choice for leveling up is all wrong for this. You start with visions, then swarm because they attack whomever has visions, then end with void because void resets visions. You get almost double the damage from it. Many times visions is almost back up when it finally wears off. You start with visions, then void, then swarm at level 2, then max visions, and then void.

If you mean for the first clear, Call of the Void deals substantially more DPS than Visions does.

Call of the Void (Rank 1): 70 damage, 6 second cooldown = 11.66 DPS (multiple targets)
Malefic Visions (Rank 1): 80 damage, 15 second cooldown = 5.33 DPS (10.66 with reset)
Void Swarm (Rank 1): 70 damage, 8 second cooldown = 11.3 DPS (single target)

For clearing camps, Call of the Void is absolutely the highest DPS, even when accounting for the Malefic Visions reset and even assuming you don't let voidlings die at all (though often they tank camps a bit). Note that Voidlings also only deal 300% bonus damage to minions, not monsters, and will target nearby monsters even if Malefic Visions is not on them.

After the first clear, Call of the Void still matters more because the silence scales with rank and its AOE DPS continues to mathematically outpace Malefic Visions against camps. Further, at just 50 Ability Haste, it's possible to permanently keep up Malefic Visions on a single-target with just Call of the Void anyway, since it hits 4 seconds at that point which perma-refreshes Malefic.

I wish you can make a guide for Malzahar for URF (Ultra Rapid Fire), because he is so unbeatable and if anyone follows your guide for URF? It will be literally done for the enemy team x'D
Thank you so much for the effort you are putting in these guides :>

I never thought Malzahar was a viable jungler, I'll give it a shot!

I now actually want to try this build.

What about the recent scuttle changes? Do I just do scuttle crab last because by the time it spawns I have already cleared my way to topside jg.

(43) |

I'm still experimenting with various clears. Right now I'm doing a full jungle clear (Blue, Gromp, Wolves, Raptors, Red, Krugs) and just skipping the scuttle entirely, unless it's free for taking.

This might not be ideal though hence why I haven't updated the guide. I'll have to consider more options first.

update runes for s8?

FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE, AN UPDATE ARRIVES

how do u think about malz in 3v3 ? currently go for deaths dance or hextech first cause i play in lane

overall do you think he is NOW in a spot to be played maybe toplane ? he isnt that manahungry anymore if you focus on AA.

still love the idea ov ad malz but i also build rylais a few games and it is just so awsome ( ofc if jungling it is not needed due to the smite)
but i still prefer the more tanky way of doing ad malz with the good old cleaver :)

i have asked questions here a few times now cause i still think your way t deal with malz is the right one: straight ad
(although prevering a more defensive way due to all that "kill the squishy thing")

(43) |

Death's Dance will deal more raw damage than Hextech so it's probably the better choice in lane.

While AD Malz is no longer as mana hungry top lane, they do still lose out on their stronger strength of objective control. It feels like other split pushes, or even AP Malz, would be able to lane bully and push faster through better waveclear.

Yeah Rylais is great! I always enjoy when a game is the right situation to buy it, since the Voidlings are absolutely ravenous on chasing down a target.
