SEISMIC SHARD = mag.dmg + slow enemy + Buff mov.speed for U ( u can catch up enemies or escape ) ... BRUTAL STRIKES = boost your armor and damage ( x% ), passive gain splash dmg ( this spell im using in late game, when i have a much armor and i get more bonus from the items ... GROUND SLAM = AoE damage + slow enemies attack speed ( this spell gain bonus from Armor ) ... UNSTOPPABLE FORCE [Malphite's Ultimate] = Charge with good range . Deal AoE dmg + knock enemies into the air.
Malphite's passive spell is GRANITE SHIELD - Malphite is shielded and absorbs damage up to 10% of his maximum Health. If Malphite has not been hit for 10 seconds, this effect recharges.

He need Dorans Shield + Ninja Tabi + Sunfire Cape in early game.

When enemy team have more AP champions, you must build Guardian Angel before Radunin's Omen and Frozen Heart

Malphite's spells are good as an offensive and defensive mechanisms.
Attack = Brutal strikes (if u have) + Ulti + Ground Slam + Seismic Shard
Malphite is very good champ for escaping - flash or U or seismic shard.

ProS

Survivability
He can deal a lot of damage in short time - (good for killing squishy heroes)
One of the best ganger

Cons

high consumption of mana
not so good against AP heroes

Primary runes are for health and armor
Secondary runes are for cooldown reduction

Flash for better escaping

Clarity, because he is high consumption of mana and a bit support in early game. He need Frozen Heart in middle game.
