Guide to Synergizing Malphite and Ryze

Tips for Playing as Malphite with Ryze

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 Understand How Ryze Will Play

Spell Flux's short cooldown allows it to be used to spread Flux to many enemies.

Use Overload's passive to optimize for maximum damage or maximum speed.

Ryze can move and cast other spells while Realm Warp is charging without cancelling the portal.
