Matchup plan

Build AP Malphite if your team lacks AP and enemy backline is squishy, one-shotting them before teamfights. Prioritize tank items if enemy lacks tank-busting; build AP if your team needs magic damage. AP Malphite relies on ult for damage; building tank only lets you soak damage and annoy the ADC. If you're prone to dying, skip Mejai's Soulstealer; other items can still carry.
