Malphite vs Aurelion Sol

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Prioritize surviving early waves and avoid extended trades before level 6 when Malphite's engage is limited.
Maintain a stable lane state focusing on armor stacking to blunt physical damage and prepare for impactful teamfight engages.
This is a teamfight-oriented matchup where Malphite must deny Aurelion Sol's scaling by controlling lane pressure and timing (R) engages effectively.

Trading pattern

Take low-risk trades using (Q) poke combined with (E) to reduce Aurelion Sol's attack speed and auto damage.
Avoid extended trades before armor stacking and cooldowns are favorable, especially when Malphite's passive shield is down.
Use (R) for guaranteed kill setups or objective fights rather than low-value poke follow-up once level 6 is reached.

Danger windows

Respect level 6 when Aurelion Sol's roaming and teamfight presence increases, making sudden engage threats more dangerous.
Avoid low mana and passive shield down states where poke damage from Aurelion Sol is amplified.
Be cautious when (R) is down as Malphite's threat and engage potential are significantly reduced.

Early game

Use (Q) to poke and steal movement speed, but avoid wasting mana on low-value poke against Aurelion Sol's waveclear.
Play safe and farm under turret until first armor item reduces damage from Aurelion Sol's poke and auto attacks.
Avoid overcommitting to trades before level 6 as Malphite's early agency and kill pressure are low.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) unlocks long-range engage; use it to create lethal gank setups or teamfight initiations.
First armor item significantly reduces physical damage, allowing safer trades and better mana preservation.
Respect Aurelion Sol's major spikes at 75+ Stardust stacks and after Rylai's completion by playing toward stable farm and safe resets.

Win conditions

Survive early lane pressure by farming safely and stacking armor to blunt poke and auto attacks.
Use (R) to initiate grouped mid-game fights where Malphite's engage can decide objectives.
Deny Aurelion Sol's scaling by applying pressure before his major item spikes and forcing him into unfavorable trades.
