Malzahar is probably one of the stronkest ap carries in this game. Legit. I swear I will fight you IRL if you even dare think that this man from the void isn't like a white supergiant star. Enemies get near you, and you know what happens when you fly towards the Motherf***ing Sun? That's right, you melt. So you might be asking me, "Ok, that isn't really all that specific. Could you maybe elaborate as to why I should choose this man over some other chump?" You're damn right I will, just keep reading this guide and you'll be DIAMOND tier in no time.

So let's talk about this crazyy sh*t.

Greater Mark of Magic Penetration

---

If I need to explain this to you, you should go back to Pre-K, chump. Your enemies got magic resistance? Ha, not anymore. Malzahar doesn't even know the definition of "magic resistance."

Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration

---

Let's be real honest here, powerful mages use a lot of mana, and Malzahar is the Dalai Lama of mages. Mana doesn't just grow on trees, so use these to spam like crazyy

Greater Glyph of Mana Regeneration

---

Yeah that's right, you thought those scaling mana regen seals were enough? THINK AGAIN! Malzahar is the best mage in this freakshow, and the best mage uses a lot of mana. Get these or you're just going to be a sub-par mage.

Greater Quintessence of Ability Power

---

Imagine this, Malzahar goes to the gym everyday to pump iron. He's looking for that extra OOMPH to get the most of this workout. Well have I got a great deal for you Malzahar, Greater Quintessence of Ability Power. Yeah, this is basically legal steroids. Use these to dominate early game.

Thank ZEUS we're finally done talking about runes and masteries.

Build order goes a little something like this:

1. Doran's Ring and 2x Health Potion If you don't take these items you should probably go back to playing Ashe in the tutorial!

2. Next, you're gonna want to grab your Sorcerer's Shoes so your feet don't get COLD. (Also, these absolutely MELT your enemies.)

3. Blasting Wand into Rod of Ages. By the time you get these you should be LEGENDARY. If you're not, you should probably UNINSTALL LoL, because you're not worthy to play Malzahar.

4. By now, your enemies are sitting in base waiting for you to single-handedly destroy their nexus. You should now be sitting back in your easy chair and laughing your *** off. You should purchase the delicious crying mask known as Liandry's Torment and then go Void Staff into Rabadon's Deathcap. Finish your clearly OP build off with Zhonya's Hourglass. However, if their team is heavy AP (Because only an entire team of mages can stop Malzahar) then you should consider changing Zhonya's Hourglass and building Abyssal Mask instead.

Do you like Bread and Butter??? WELL YOU BETTER! 'Cause we're about to talk about some bread and butta (along with some other skills).

I wanted to get a little more in depth with this in case you're INCAPABLE of reading earlier which skills you should be using. If you play Malzahar correctly than you should have COMPLETE and UTTER lane dominance when it comes to farming creeps.

Early on you're going to be wanting to put Malefic Visions on a creep and you want to focus attacking that creep because you want your Malefic Visions to continue spreading. The absolute most BOSS A** thing about this ability is that it gives you mana back for each unit killed. So you really want this SH*TFEST to spread. If you have to, use your Call of the Void to help spread Malefic Visions.

In all seriousness you should do it way better than I did in this video...I included this so the jist of what I was trying to say would be easily understandable.

By this time you should have Rod of Ages and Liandry's Torment. With Liandry's Torment and a maxed Malefic Visions minions should be melting like no man's business. You might still need to hang around and make sure you get the minions, but it should be much easier than it was early game.

By this point creeping shouldn't even be an issue. Just Malefic Visions and walk away to slaughter more of your enemies. Malefic Visions should (hopefully) spread throughout the entire minion wave and you shouldn't have to worry about spreading it yourself.
