Guide to Synergizing Blitzcrank and Malphite

Tips for Playing as Blitzcrank with Malphite

Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.

The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.

Advice to Understand How Malphite Will Play

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.
