Vayne vs Malphite

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use ranged spacing and (Q) repositioning to control the lane and deny Malphite passive scaling.
Prioritize lane pressure to avoid a passive lane and prepare for side-lane duels and late-game DPS.

Trading pattern

Trade by auto-attacking from max range and using (Q) to reposition and avoid Malphite's slow and engage.
Punish Malphite after he uses (E) to reduce your attack speed or when (R) is down.
Avoid using (Q) forward when Malphite's engage is ready to prevent getting caught.

Danger windows

Respect (R) knockup engage, especially when he can hit multiple targets.
Be cautious when (E) is up, as it reduces your attack speed and trade effectiveness.
Avoid pushing without vision to prevent ganks and hard engage follow-ups.

Early game

Keep the wave safe and avoid pushing without vision to reduce gank risk.
Use autos and (Q) to poke Malphite while maintaining distance and avoid fighting near walls without (E) ready.
Hold (E) to punish Malphite's engage attempts or pin him into terrain for a stun.

Power spikes

At level 6, activate (R) to gain stealth on (Q) and outplay Malphite's engage with repositioning.
After your two-item spike, pressure side lanes aggressively to exploit Malphite's low mobility and limited engage.
Respect Malphite's level 6 (R) engage; avoid predictable positioning and maintain escape routes.

Win conditions

Use ranged autos and (Q) stealth repositioning to kite Malphite and deny him safe farming.
Exploit (E) to stun Malphite into walls and win short trades or all-ins.
Scale into side-lane duels post two-item spike, applying pressure while avoiding grouped fights where (R) is strongest.

Tip: For Vayne vs Malphite, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Top lane check.
