Hunter Malphite

Tempo is the currency of Hunter Malphite: race to level 8, then spend everything finding Malphite and the rest of the four-cost core. The Enchanted Wilds sample says Tier A: 4.44 average placement from 45k recorded lobbies.

Placement-wise that makes it #10 overall out of 54 comps we track, 0.04 better than the Tier A median of 4.48. At a 4.3% pick rate — the median comp sees 0.91 percent — this is one of the lobby's popular lines, so scout before you commit.

Malphite is the board's item carrier; Crownguard, Gargoyle Stoneplate, and Warmogs Armor shows up more than any other setup in the sample; finished versions of that build averaged 3.95. After that, spare components go to Nidalee.

The synergy sheet lists 9 active traits here, topped by Riftbeast at 3; Hunter (2) is the biggest supporting piece. Cinderling marks this comp out — only 2 other tracked comps field it. There is latent Vanguard on this board — 1 unit, not yet active, so a Vanguard Emblem turns it on at the 2-piece tier.

Should an emblem land in your lap, Vanguard Emblem does the most for this board; Hunter Emblem is the next-best hold. On the Vanguard Emblem ranking itself, this comp sits 1st of 35.

Lunar Aphelios and Executioner Malphite build around the same Malphite core as Hunter Malphite — two boards chasing one carry thin out the late-game shops fast.
