Tips for Playing as Malphite with Pantheon
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 Understand How Pantheon Will Play
Mortal Will activates after 5 spells or basic attacks - plan your way through fights to allow you to activate it more than once.
Whittle the enemy down with Comet Spears before you jump in.
If an enemy is going to get out of range of your Aegis Assault, you can recast the spell to immediately fire the shield slam.
