Advice to Understand How Malzahar Will Play

Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies.

There is no top companion for Lulu that will no matter what be her best teammate. However, Malzahar is a relatively poor companion for Lulu.

Although, by grouping Lulu and Malzahar together, you may not be giving your other allies very much attack damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this hole in this pairing's capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Malzahar ally, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
