Malphite into Fioramedium

Overview

Prioritize surviving Fiora's early poke and vital procs while building armor to blunt her physical damage.
Accept a low lane pressure role focused on stable farming and preparing for impactful level 6 engages.
This matchup is a control vs splitpush duel where you aim to neutralize Fiora's side-lane threat and win teamfights.

Trading pattern

Danger windows

Avoid extended trades before your armor item and level 6, as Fiora's vital procs and true damage are most threatening.

Deny Fiora isolated side-lane duels by grouping with your team and forcing objectives or fights where your engage and tankiness shine.
