You want the wave on your side so you can freely poke him without him being able to free farm

Try to poke him with Q1s and Q2 in lane Take extended trades with your full combo and avoid eating his Qs for free Malphite has high mana costs so forcing him to use his abilities often in lane will force him out of lane Try to keep the pressure on him so his shield cannot regenerate in lane

Stay out of his Q range if you aren’t pressuring him or farming Buffer a Q when he is ulting you Don’t auto trade with him without your passive auto up unless you can stack conqueror up and extend the trade He is immobile and has no dashes so you can always look to full combo him.
