Malzahar General information

Malzahar tips and tricks

During the later stages of the game, you will need to stick with your team at all costs. Malz is very immobile and vulnerable- so you cannot split push or stay in a side lane alone.

When sieging objectives like Baron, a tower or the Dragon. Stand towards the front of your team and threaten an engage with your Nether Grasp R. Ulting a key target will allow your team to quickly pick someone off or take the objective for free.

Avoid team fighting unless your Nether Grasp R is up. Malzahar is a weak team fighter without his R, so do not fight without it!
