Guide to Synergizing Orianna and Malphite

Tips for Playing as Orianna with Malphite

Command: Protect can be used on yourself to return the Ball back to you quickly. Combine this with Command: Attack for a quick harassment.

Command: Dissonance is a very powerful escape tool if Orianna has the Ball. The combination of speed and leaving a slowing obstacle can be quite powerful.

Command: Shockwave can be used to drag enemies towards you or away from you if you position the Ball properly.

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.

Working alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. Combined, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Although, by grouping Orianna and Malphite together, you may not be granting your other allies much AD. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Malphite ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
