Guide to Synergizing Rengar and Malphite

Tips for Playing as Rengar with Malphite

Use Rengar's ultimate to find and assassinate high priority targets in team fights and skirmishes.

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.

Is Rengar better when played alongside Malphite?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Rengar that will always be his top synergy. Yet, Malphite is a very typical companion for Rengar. By locking into the same side as Rengar, he decreases their win rate by -1.0% to 48.0%. This demonstrates that there is a weak strategic relationship between Rengar and Malphite that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Malphite has a much lower diffuclty than Rengar. That means Rengar players don't need to be cautious when arranging Malphite allies to play with, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to work well with you.

Working together, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. Together, these two might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

Although, by bringing Rengar and Malphite together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a great deal of magic damage. Plan to have other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Malphite ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
