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.
For increased range and damage, try casting Shock Blast through the Acceleration Gate.
If you find yourself taking lots of damage, try using Jayce's Hammer Stance, as it grants you additional defenses.
Be sure to switch stances often. It will enhance your attacks and grant you quick bursts of speed.
