Renekton vs Malphite

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use early lane pressure and high fury trades to deny Malphite safe scaling and wave control.
Prioritize short burst trades and resets to avoid extended fights where Malphite's armor and poke improve.
This is a snowball vs scale matchup; snowball by forcing Malphite to play defensively and punish his cooldowns.

Trading pattern

Trade only with high fury, using (E) in and (E) out for burst with empowered (W) stun and (Q) healing.
Punish Malphite when his passive shield is down or after he uses (E) to reduce your attack speed.
Avoid extended trades or low fury trades where Malphite's armor and poke reduce your damage output.

Danger windows

When (R) is up, respect his long-range engage and avoid overextending without vision or escape.
Avoid being caught without (E) second dash available to escape after trading.
Be cautious when your fury is low and empowered (W) is down, as your burst and stun threat decrease significantly.

Early game

Aggressively stack fury and use level 3 power spike to trade with full combo and quick exit.
Avoid using both (E) dashes forward without a clear kill or wave advantage to prevent being punished.
Push the wave early to force Malphite to farm under tower and reduce his chance to scale safely.

Power spikes

Level 3: Use full (Q), (W), (E) combo to trade aggressively and build early lead.
Level 6: Use (R) to add health and damage, converting short trades into all-ins or dives.
Respect Malphite's level 6 (R) engage; avoid low health and poor positioning to prevent knockup combos.

Win conditions

Snowball early by controlling wave and forcing empowered short trades with (E)+(W)+(Q) combo.
Deny Malphite safe farming and scaling by pressuring before his armor and cooldown spikes.
Use (R) to force all-ins or dives when Malphite is chipped or trapped under wave pressure to secure kills and lane dominance.
