Alright, so my main tank right now is Amumu who gets banned very often. I am interested in learning Malphite, but I have a question about his mana. In a couple practice games, I have found that he has big mana issues. The top guides on this site all suggest getting the summoner spell Clarity, but I would like to hear other's thoughts on what would be the best way to address his mana issue, whether you agree with Clarity or not.

Don't spam early game, and early Frozen Heart.

tbh I sometimes get Clarity too tbh. Rushing Frozen Heart probably does work though.

I used to way back when.

Don't.

Wasting a summoner, trust me.

ALL IT HELPS WITH is being able to spam your Q a bit more early game, big whoop.

I'd rather just save my low mana for when I need it in clutch situations, and having a spell that helps me all game, in teamfights and out (flash, ghost, exhaust, cleanse, all good picks on a tank)

Also consider mana and mana reg runes, and mastery specs for mana and mana reg.

Clarity is a bad spell.

Start out with sapphire crystal + 2 health potions. Depending on your lane matchup, turn it into either a catalyst, sheen, or a glacial shroud. Those items should be turned into a banshee's veil, trinity force, and frozen heart respectively.

Well, it´s true that Malphite needs Mana like a thirsty Kid needs Water in the desert. BUT, it´s not worth it. IF you still thin you need that mana, either buy early frozen heart OR use Teleport. As teleport is much more versatile.
If I have a Ryze in my Team I´m kinda forced to pick Teleport to keep up with my mana usage. As Ryze benefits much more from frozenheart it would be overkill to buy two for one team. If I find myself facing a heavy mage team, it´s also interesting to buy chalice of harmony. It nulifies your mana usage and also adds some nifty tifty MR to you.

I would suggest you to wait what others have to say to this suggestion. I kinda rarely play malphite and IF I do, it works.

Best regards, da_neo
If I could help you +rep me ;)

That would solve the problem very nicely. At what point would you suggest getting it?
