Guide to Synergizing Malphite and Twitch

Tips for Playing as Malphite with Twitch

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 Twitch Will Play

Contaminate has a large range; apply as many stacks of Deadly Venom as possible before using it.

You can catch up to an enemy out of attack range with Venom Cask.

Twitch's Attack Speed is among the highest in the game; try purchasing items with on-hit effects such as Black Cleaver or Wit's End.
