Ryze vs Malphite

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Ryze wants to safely scale through controlled farming and use waveclear to enable map plays.
Avoid giving Malphite a passive lane to prevent him from safely scaling into teamfight engage.

Trading pattern

Use (E) to mark Malphite and follow up with (Q) for poke, holding (W) to root if he commits.
Avoid trading without enough mana to follow up with multiple spell rotations.
Punish Malphite's cooldowns on (Q) and (E) by stepping forward for short trades when they are down.

Danger windows

Respect (R) engage window at level 6, especially when he can hit multiple targets.
Be cautious when Malphite's passive shield is up, as poke effectiveness is reduced.
Avoid stepping forward to trade when low on mana or when (W) root is down, as you lose follow-up potential.

Early game

Focus on farming safely and avoid extended trades before your first mana/AP item.
Use short (E) and (Q) trades when (Q) slow or (E) attack speed slow are down.
Track Malphite's level 6 to anticipate his engage threat and play accordingly.

Power spikes

After your first mana/AP item, pressure the wave and trades more confidently while tracking Malphite's defensive tools.
At level 6, use (R) for map plays and avoid forced all-ins; respect (R) engage threat.
Respect Malphite's level 6 (R) engage and his first armor item timing that reduces physical damage trades.

Win conditions

Scale safely by controlling the wave and farming while denying Malphite free scaling.
Use (W) root to punish Malphite when he overcommits or tries to trade without cooldowns.
Convert wave control into side-lane pressure or coordinated map plays using (R) for numbers advantage.

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