Jayce vs Malphite

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use high early agency and ranged poke to deny Malphite safe farming and scaling space.
Pressure lane tempo aggressively to prevent Malphite from reaching his armor and engage spikes.

Trading pattern

Prioritize short poke trades with empowered (Q) through (E) before committing to hammer form.
Punish Malphite immediately after he uses (Q) slow or when his passive shield is down.
Avoid hammer form all-ins unless (R) is on cooldown or he is low health from poke.

Danger windows

Respect (R) engage window after level 6; maintain spacing and ward flanks.
Avoid committing hammer form when (R) is up as it leaves limited escape options.
Be cautious when mana is low or empowered (Q) misses, as Malphite can punish these moments.

Early game

Dominate early waves with ranged (Q)+(E) poke to force Malphite on the back foot before level 6.
Avoid extended melee trades unless (R) is down and poke has softened him.
Conserve mana to maintain poke pressure and punish Malphite's shield cooldown windows.

Power spikes

First damage item: use empowered poke to pressure waves and force Malphite into defensive play.
Mid-game poke siege: set up vision and fire (Q) through (E) to control lane and zone Malphite.
Respect Malphite's level 6 (R) engage threat by playing safer and avoiding extended trades when it's available.

Win conditions

Snowball early poke leads into denying Malphite farm and crashing waves to pressure plates.
Use ranged poke and empowered (Q) to create health advantages before short hammer form trades.
Maintain lane pressure to prevent Malphite from scaling armor and teamfight impact, securing mid-game tempo leads.

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