Guide to Countering Dr. Mundo as Malphite

Tips for Playing as Malphite against Dr. Mundo

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.

Advice to Win Against Dr. Mundo

Try to coordinate high-damage abilities with your allies right after Dr. Mundo uses his ultimate, but if you're unable to kill him quickly with burst he will heal through the damage.

Try casting Ignite when Dr. Mundo uses Sadism to negate a large portion of its healing.
