Why else? I was bored :). Either way this is my first guide. The way I type or spell will probably be terrible so please just ignore that. I've played Malphite the basic way which is tank and I love it. This is just another means to a end thats all.

Fact is people will always say there is only one way to play certain champion's. As long as you carry they'll shut up :). They just might be confused when they see a ((Rabadon's Deathcap)) on you.

((Greater Mark of Insight)) x9 Considering all your skills are considered spell damage might as well right?

((Greater Seal of Clarity)) x9 Early game mana regeneration is a necessity.

((Greater Glyph of Clarity)) x9 Like I said can never have enough mana when spamming ((Seismic Shard))

Basic offensive mastery's with Archaic Knowledge.

The reason I go with Utility is for the cool down reduction + Frozen Heart equaling out around 41%. The rest of the skills are for mana regeneration which tends to be annoying till around level 12 +.

You always wanna spam your q till around 50% mana making sure you can continue to regenerate while having enough for a fight.

The main goal of the this build is to allow you to harass and burst like any caster while being a little more tanky towards physical.

So when starting any fight make sure your ultimate is always ready. Also make sure you can combo them down before they can get away by just doing the math.

If I use W Q R then E will that kill them?

The way you lead a fight is to open when a ultimate while mid flight you wanna use ((Deathfire Grasp)) before actually allowing the ultimate to do damage.

Always make sure your W is activated before using a E because it boosts the overall damage.

Clarity allows you to spam all day and not worry about running out of mana. You can go with ghost if you like, this part is really preference.

Using a flash + ult will allow you to cover a insane amount of ground or cross a wall and save a teammate.

This is basically a rough draft short handed and poorly typed. I'm sorry for that but I'll be remaking this guide soon enough I just wanna get the build out thats all.

*Updated on March 1st*

I will continue to slowly update and tweak the guide
