Hi everyone ! This is my first guide featuring "Malzahar The Prophet Of The Void".
In this guide, you will learn a nice way to play a funny AP carry. The way I play it gives him as much burst as other build, but with much more survivability as you will see.
Just a little thank you to jhoijhoi's Making a Guide page that helped me a lot

ISN'T INTERRUPTING YOUR ULTIMATE

I can't see Malzahar with any other spell then these 3.

greater seal of replenishment x6 Gives an early game mana regeneration to help you spam some spells to harass.



Optionnal Runes


I won't hide it, I am not a fan of
Doran's Ring, i just find it is slowing your normal game. Early game is a farming time, no need to get this item because you will only be farming and harassing a bit.
My first item
Sapphire Crystal with
Health Potionx2 is good against almost every mid. The only exception is if you mid against someone like
Anivia or
Lux or
Karthus or anyone that you have difficulties to deal with, don't hesitate,
Boots and
Health Potion x3 to not get harassed early.
Begin by building
Rod of Ages, which gives you enough mana, extra health, and some ap.
Many Malzahar are building
Archangel's Staff, but you don't need extra mana instead of health ... your
Malefic Visions regenerate your mana so fast.
Rod of Ages is just the best early game item.
Sorcerer's Shoes Standart caster boots
Will of the Ancients I first got the idea from xPeke, from Fnatic team, who used it on Malzahar. In a team fight, you are usually focused first. So you spam your spell and get out of the fight, but there is always someone or even the whole team chasing you. Just land a
Call of the Void and a
Null Zone and your health is now full ! An other utility of this item is when you want to farm a minion wave,
Malefic Visions bounce from minions to minions giving your health back very fast.
Rabadon's Deathcap Ability power is just a must with every caster.
Situationnal items
Seeing how the game goes, you will have many choices for your final item.
Warmog's Armor My favorite item. Much extra health, almost always my fifth item. Seems to be a strange idea, but it works pretty well.
Thornmail Against an heavy attack damage team, always a good choice
Banshee's Veil Against
Veigar or
LeBlanc or any other caster who is just focusing you in team fights.
Zhonya's Hourglass These games when everyone is just jumping on you and doing their 5 ultimates on you to take you down...
In some little case,
Will of the Ancients is better taken before
Rabadon's Deathcap, for exemple if you see that someone in your team has alreay one, 50 % spell vamp in team fight would be devastating.
An other option is to take Hexteck revolver if someone in your team has
Will of the Ancients, then rush your
Rabadon's Deathcap and then finish your
Will of the Ancients. Adapt your item choice to the game.

An other important thing to do late game is to spam spells while pushing turret, voidling damage to turrets is complety ridiculous at level 18, making 2 or 3 of them appear could be a nice trick late game. An other thing very nice of this passive, it can block skill shots, like snares, if you are lucky !

Malefic Visions with your voidling or simply
Call of the Void

Level 1 to 3 : last hit minions, harass with some
Call of the Void when your mana is almost full.
Level 4-5 : Do the harassment combo but don't forget to last hit.
Level 6 : If you think you can kill your ennemy do it, or just go gank in an other lane if they got some troubles.
Each time you back to base, always take a ward and if possible one or two
Health Potion and
Mana Potion
If you see your ennemy is playing way aggressive, try to aim a
Call of the Void in his face while you are backing, if you land it on your opponnent, run at him while landing your
Malefic Visions, the ennemy will now play less aggressively seing he cant harass you
Priority in this phase is just farming as much creep as you can, and killing the other mid at level 6 with your full combo.

At 15:00 if you farmed well you should have your
Rod of Ages and your
Boots
Every time you get a gank opportunity go for it, if not, just farm more and more. When team fights are beggining, be sure to be protect by your tank. Your job is to land your spell, then to back once you can land them again. When the ennemy team is backing,
Flash
Nether Grasp will give your team some time to down the ennemy champion. Don't hesiste to get out of the fight while your spells are on cooldown, and then to come back to help your team. You are the one doing in your team the most damage in the less time, you need to stay alive.
Flash when they want to focus you, then get back and kill them.

At this moment of the game, your team should let you the blue buff every time it spawns, making you a pure nuke. The most important spell to land is your
Call of the Void, that massive silence of 3 seconds, dont be shy to flash in to place this spell through the whole team, a perfect
Call of the Void is just simply turning the fight into your advantage.
At this phase of the game, try to take some wards just before you begin your final core item, place wards just everyone to help your support. If your team is in a bad position while the other team is baronning, try to steal it, you got a half chance to get it, and if you succeed, you can completly change the game by doing so.
