Kled vs Malphite

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use early lane pressure and all-in threat to deny Malphite a passive scaling lane.
Prioritize forcing fights where (Q) can tether and (W) burst can punish Malphite's low early agency and poke reliance.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to pull Malphite closer and follow up with (W) burst autos.
Punish Malphite after he uses (E) attack speed slow by committing to all-ins while his counter-trade is weakened.
Use remount timing to bait Malphite into overcommitting and extend trades to capitalize on his cooldowns.

Danger windows

Respect (R) engage at level 6; avoid fighting without vision or team follow-up.
Be cautious when dismounted with no remount path, as you are vulnerable to Malphite's poke and slows.
Avoid trading when (W) is down or (Q) misses to prevent giving Malphite easy counterplay.

Early game

Aggressively trade at level 2-3 when (Q), (W), and (E) are available to force Malphite onto the back foot.
Avoid extended trades if (W) is down or (Q) tether misses to prevent losing momentum.
Maintain wave control to keep lane long for chase and remount opportunities.

Power spikes

Level 2-3: Use full combo of (Q), (W), and (E) to force early all-ins before Malphite stacks armor.
Level 6: Use (R) to engage or roam with team, forcing Malphite to respect long-range dive and follow-up.
Respect Malphite's first armor item spike as it reduces your physical damage effectiveness; avoid extended trades then.

Win conditions

Snowball early by landing (Q) pulls and bursting with (W) to deny Malphite farm and scaling.
Use remount threat to bait Malphite into risky trades and punish his cooldown windows.
After level 6, leverage (R) to create side-lane picks or team engages, accelerating your lead and lane dominance.
