Early game (levels 1–5)

You own the early lane. Malphite is a passive, mana-starved farmer whose Thunderclap (Q) poke and armor do nothing to a Mundo stacking health, while your Q Infected Bonesaw slow and E Blunt Force Trauma auto out-trade him hand over fist. Shove the wave hard, deny his CS, and set the tempo.
