Guide to Countering Corki as Malphite

Tips for Playing as Malphite against Corki

Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.

Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.

Advice to Win Against Corki

Watch out for Corki's Missile Barrage. They deal splash damage, so you can get hit even when hiding behind minions.

Corki is vulnerable after he uses his Valkyrie or Special Delivery, so try switching focus to him if he uses them to enter a fight.
