Guide to Countering Jinx as Malphite

Tips for Playing as Malphite against Jinx

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 Jinx

Jinx's ultimate does less damage the closer you are to her.

Jinx's minigun takes time to ramp up. If you see her poking with rockets try to jump on her and burst her down.

Jinx's snare grenades have a long cooldown and are her primary means of protecting herself. If she misses with them she will have a hard time escaping if engaged upon.
