Guide to Synergizing Malphite and Rell

Tips for Playing as Malphite with Rell

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.

How to Play with Rell as Malphite in LoL

The Malphite Rell synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Rell, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Malphite sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Rell. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Rell helps Malphite perform poorer in ranked League rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

When Malphite plays on the same team as Rell, he observes a marginal improvement in his full damage output. This change could signal that Rell provides cover for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Malphite is played together with Rell on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Rell. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Rell.

Additionally, when Malphite plays with Rell on the same side, he typically takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may mean that Rell does a poor job of covering Malphite during team fights.
