Cassiopeia
She can easily get rid of your passive and once it's done, she just deals more damage than you. So you'll never be able to win a lane against her. At least she doesn't one shot your 3 voidling at once, and if she forgets you in a teamfights, your passive can nullify her ult.

LISTEN TO ME, VOIDLINGS AND BARONS! My summoner's name is UtsukushiiSempai and this is my second guide on Mobafire (about 3 years old now)! This guide is about my most played champion, Malzahar. Malzahar is a summon mage that has his place in mid lane as, in my sight, the strongest control mage in mid lane of all. This guide here will not only help you learn everything you need to know about the aids bringer but also help you create your own way to play him. Should you trust a Malzahar main? No, not when he's on the enemy team. But hey, I'm not on the enemy team! I'm here to help! I will guide you into the depth of the void and show you how magical it can be to play Malzahar. Ready to bring the void's madness on your enemy? Then lets get started |

![]() You can either choose the build you prefer to play or merge the two build to create one of your style! Isn it awesome? Feel free to post a comment on how you build your kit on Malzahar to share with everyone the void madness! Ok, now let's head to the real first chapter. |

hello ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
About MalzaharMalzahar is a control mage, but not the kind to hypercarry. He's more like the kind of control mage that allows your team to win every team fight and out damage anyone only by rolling your face on your keyboard. So first let's talk about the basic. When you start as Malzahar, you have to mind yourself on one thing ; you don't need to be fed to win the game. Malzahar alone has enough CC to give your team the win. It may sounds easy to pull out like this, but there are some trick you'll have to learn before you can assure a win without being fed. Malzahar's biggest advantage on any 1v1 is his passive ![]() Something important about Malzahar is that he can farm with his ability in a way you can just ignore the lane and focus on your positionning and poking your opponents with basic attack. Let's proceed to Malzahar's early game. Early Game (Levels 1 to 6) |


The Canon Minion is worth a lot of gold, everyone know that. But did you know that it could also make you win lane? Haha, well I'll explain myself a bit on that point!EZ Tower, EZ LifeStatistically, the canon minion will always take max health damage from turret, from 14% to 8% depending on the game's timer, so they can always take 7 to 12 tower shot before getting killed. While towers have a base attack speed of 0.83 shots per second, the canon minion can tank the tower for more than 7 second if nothing else is in the way. Now you know the basic of the plan. Getting a canon minion wave with nothing in its way to tank the tower while you hit it. "But Malzahar is still a mage, he won't get a big adventage from that canon minion." Well that's where you are wrong. Malzahar doesn't have only 7 minion in it's wave, he can litterally get a 10 minion wave with ![]() Usually, Malzahar's voidling are automatically targeted by the tower if there are multiple target available for the tower. However, if they enter the tower's range while the tower is already hitting something else, they will be free until the first target die. Now you probably get it, right? If a canon minion can tank tower shots for more than 7 to 12 seconds and malzahar's voidling can hit the tower for 5−64.5 (based on level) (+ 12 / 14 / 16 / 18 / 20) (+ 40% bonus AD) (+ 20% AP) magic damage with 0.67−0.89 attack speed (based on level), one can surely do a tons of damages to the tower, but don't forget you'll have 3 voidling at the same time hitting the tower! How to get that OP Minion wave?Well, to get canon minion to the tower without anything in its way, you must have no enemy champion in your lane. There's two way to do that. First, you kill him. Simple, right? you only have to syncronize your kill with the canon minion wave and bam! Free tower! However, when you are pushing a tower like this you are vulnerable to gank. You must choose a moment where you know that either the enemy jungle AND you laner won't be in the way. It's sad, but the best moment for that is when your laner roam to another lane. Most of the time, if the enemy mid laner is ganking bot lane, the enemy jungle too will be there. This means you'll usually follow your laner to avoid the botlane to get killed. In my case, I always get first tower and once you get the first tower, it is 100% more easy and efficient to roam and kill. So I usually let my laner roam 1 time alone, I get the first tower, and then I catch him up with a lot more gold than him and all my teamates are like "YEAY MALZAHAR IS FED". In the end, I don't suggest you never follow the enemy mid laner when he roam to get that double bot, but if you see a canon minion coming to your lane at that same time, and the enemy first tower isn't broken yet, I promise it will be more worth to get the first tower. |

First, I want to give a SPECIAL GOLDEN CHOCOLATE BAR to JhoiJhoi, because of her guide, "Making a Guide". Without this guide, I should never have finished mine. I suggest to all new users who want to create a guide to read all her "Making a Guide" guide. It helps A LOT. Next is a HUGE MEGA FLUFFY STRAWBERRY CAKE to both Mowen and PsiGuard for being the fastest admins I've ever seen when someone's in need and for helping writers at any moments. Next is a OMEGA SECRET BISCUIT RECIPE FOR THE GREATER GOODS to Chromuro with his own Malzahar guide. He inspire me to take Precision as a secondary path for my full damage Malzahar. Have a look at his own guide by clicking here. Then, I'll give an OVERPOWERED PANCAKE OF DOMINATION to Splj because he make me notice that Full Damage Malzahar could do even more damage that I though just by picking faster the ![]() At last, I want to give a SPECIAL PLATINUM COOKIE to my brother Fuzzy Demon. He showed me many tricks in text formatting and BBCode for making my guide better and more comprehensive. |
I'm an artist in real life and I know how copyrights are important, so there is the list of the website I used for picture, the guide I read to help me and anything like this. Remember that all champion, runes, masteries, runes reforged, items and summoner spells are the propriety of Riot games.![]() |
