Malzahar General information
Malzahar tips and tricks
If you cannot get kills with your Ultimate R in lane, push the wave and look to roam and make use of it elsewhere.
In team fights, when the enemy engages, use your Ultimate R on the closest enemy champion. Alternatively, you can Flash R and catch an enemy whose alone and too far forward.
Your Passive shield has a very long cooldown in the early game, so you’ll have to play a little safer while it’s down.
