Naafiri vs Malphite in Mid lane is a lane to avoid on patch 26.14. The one thing to respect: his ult — an AP Malphite kills you before you hit the ground. Below is the exact page the OTP runs — runes, skill max order, summoner spells, item build and the four tips that decide the lane, plus a quick quiz before you lock in.

How to play it

✓ DO

Fear his ult

If he's AP, his ult one-shots you before you land — never sit in range of it.

Wait out his ult

He's worthless once his ult is spent — go in after he presses R on someone else.

Shove and roam

You can't beat him in lane, so shove the wave, roam, and set up ganks with your jungler.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never try to win lane by fighting him — a tank Malphite simply can't be killed.
