Strong builds, weak builds—it's up to the player. A truly skilled summoner should win with their preferred build.
For those of you stacking four Zephyrs, here is a serious Malphite Jungle guide.
【Can Malphite Jungle?】
It's quite strong. Since W gained a jungle monster amp, clear speed is fast, and from level 6 onwards it goes without saying. However, many people use incorrect builds, so today I'll explain how to do it right!
【Build】
What matters most is buying Dusk and Dawn first! This increases W's on-hit damage and provides a lot of haste, which is great! Plus, you gain health too, making it the best option. Note that stacking this in Top lane is weak.
Malphite has surprisingly high base AD, so always buy Sheen for your first recall. After that, get Zeke's to reduce R cooldowns, then pick appropriate armor items.
【Runes】
Not much to write here, but Dusk's effect allows you to proc Press Attack quickly. How many times you can auto-attack during W significantly impacts jungle clear speed, so prioritize attack speed. For secondary runes, if you want more scaling, consider Unsealed Spellbook or similar adjustments.
【The Only Technique】
Use W early and often.
Activate W at 51 seconds for the first camp.
Malphite's W starts its cooldown timer upon activation, but the duration actually begins when you land the first auto-attack. So, using it 4-5 seconds before reaching the next camp lets you cycle the cooldown faster, which is super efficient.
This affects jungle clear speed, so don't forget to do it.
