Malzahar

Extreme

Becuase of Malzahars spell shield and point click poke it's hard to trade with him in lane. It's hard to land a combo on him becuase of his W. After 6, because of his point click ultimate, waiting for gank is probably your best option. Get Banshee's Veil second item in this matchup

Champion Build Guide

Introduction

Hey, my name is Yadashi. I've been maining this past season (season 8), i currently have a 62% winrate on her (76 ranked games). I started playing when i was in high gold and played her all the way up to diamond 5, where i took a break from ranked. I Recently started streaming, so if you're looking for some tips n' tricks or if you have any questions, you're more than welcome to drop by. I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you might have :D Twitch.tv/Yad4shi

Feel free to leave a comment or PM me if you have any feedback or suggestions, that could improve the build/guide ^^

Summoner Spells

Flash

Ignite

I almost always go and . The reason why i use is because it allows you to snowball a lot easier.

________________________________________________________________________________

Other Options

Barrier

can be extremely useful if you're playing against someone with a lot of burst damage. Especially if it's someone like or with lethal point click ultimates

Heal

and kinda serves the same purpose. Both spells have their ups and downs. has a shorter cooldown than and shields for more than heals. However is shareable and gives movement speed. is permanent while barrier is only for 2 seconds.

Cleanse

is really strong if enemy has a lot of CC on their team, or if you're playing against someone that heavily relies on their CC such as

Teleport

I don't use myself and i wouldn't really recommend it over the ones above. However if you absolute don't want to miss out on any farm, you like roaming and split pushing is the way to go

Exhaust

can be good if you use it correctly. I don't use myself and i wouldn't really recommend it over the ones above

Combos And More

is a quite mechanical champion and can be a little hard to pick up at first. In this section i'll try to explain some of her combos and give you a few tips and tricks that might come in handy.

I made a video to get a better understanding of how the combos acutally work. I've left timestamps in the description with the different combos.
Just to clarify, when i say "AA" i refer to Auto Attack. So you don't get confused ^^

Q>AA>Q>AA
The first combo Q>AA>Q>AA is simplest one, it is the combo that you're gonna be using the most as well. You use this combo to farm, push and poke with. The reason why you want to AA in between your , is to proc your passive to maximize the damage

________________________________________________________________________________

Q>Q>R>AA
The second combo Q>Q>R>AA or just Q>Q>R is kind of like a long range poke. The reason why you do this is to extend your s range, to maximize its damage. I mostly use it to either poke enemy in lane and when i roam to other lanes, for some free spicy damage when i arrive. It is extremely hard to dodge if the enemy doesn't have vision on you. So when you're using this in lane, go slightly out of vision. That'll make it a lot hard for your opponent to dodge it

________________________________________________________________________________

E>AA>R>Q>Q>AA
The third combo E>AA>R>Q>Q>AA is another poke combo. The reason why you want to use in the opposite direction, is to get as much range on your as possible, to maximize its damage

________________________________________________________________________________

E>AA>Q>Q>AA
The fourth combo E>AA>Q>Q>AA is more of a burst combo. It looks like the third combo, just without . This combo deals less damage than the third one, so only use it if you're sure that it's gonna kill your opponent

________________________________________________________________________________

E>AA>Q>AA>Q>AA
Now for the last combo E>AA>Q>AA>Q>AA. It's pretty much the same as the fourth one, but with an extra AA in between you . Now this is really hard to pull off in an actual match. If you manage to pull it off, it's gonna do massive amounts of damage

________________________________________________________________________________

Spell Thief
You've probably noticed that i've left out (Zoe's W), simply because it's luck based. I cannot include this in the combo, i can however tell you how to use some of the spells you can get (or at least how i use them). This is pretty much only gonna be relevant to early game and for item spells.

Hextech Protobelt-01
is probably my favourite spell early game. If you get early game (pre level 6), it's pretty much free kill. In lane your opponent will try to stay behind minions, to avoid getting hit by your . But with you simply just dash through the enemy minions, use and they're pretty much dead.

Redemption
is extremely strong as well. Not only does it provide AOE heal, it deals damage to all enemies inside as well. If i get i usually tell either my top or botlane to go all in and then pop on them. Enemy is not gonna expect a heading their way so early on into the game. Which often results in some free kills/assists

Normal Summoner Spells
All the normal summoner spells, such as , , etc. is pretty self-explanatory. You just want to use these spells as you normally would
