Heimerdinger vs Malphite

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use turret zones to control the lane and deny Malphite safe farming under his shield and armor stacking.
Pressure early to prevent Malphite from reaching his level 6 engage spike comfortably while maintaining turret setups for anti-dive control.

Trading pattern

Trade only when multiple turrets are active and (E) is ready to stun Malphite in turret range.
Punish Malphite's low mana or shield downtime by layering (W) and turret damage.
Avoid extended trades when turrets are cleared or (E) is on cooldown to prevent being vulnerable to his slows and poke.

Danger windows

Respect Malphite's level 6 (R) engage; maintain spacing and turret zones to avoid knockup initiation.
Be cautious when (E) is down or turrets are cleared; Malphite's slows and poke become more threatening.
Avoid overextending without vision to reduce risk of ganks or Malphite follow-up engages.

Early game

Establish turrets early and hold (E) to punish Malphite's slow approach or engage attempts.
Avoid pushing without vision to reduce vulnerability to ganks and Malphite's eventual (R) engage.
Use turret zones to force Malphite to last-hit under pressure and limit his safe farming.

Power spikes

Level 3: Full turret, (W), and (E) combo enables strong anti-engage trades; hold (E) for commitment.
Level 6: Use (R) upgrade to enhance burst or control depending on fight needs; force Malphite to respect your upgraded zone.
First AP item: Turrets and spells hit harder, increasing pressure and punishing Malphite's limited poke and armor reliance.

Win conditions

Maintain turret control to force Malphite into unfavorable trades and deny his scaling.
Use upgraded (R) abilities to deny dives or secure kills when Malphite commits to engage.
Control wave and objective setups with turrets to leverage anti-dive zoning and pressure Malphite's teamfight impact.
