Best Maloch Build, Rune Page & Guide for 2026

• If facing an enemy team with strong physical damage, switch to Sonic Boots to increase durability.
• Build your support item depending on the specific match
• Only play Maloch full damage when your mechanical skill is clearly better than your opponent’s

Basic Maloch combo.

1. Use Skill 3 Shock to jump in, launch, and damage the enemy.
2. Swing Skill 1 Cleave for damage.
3. Activate Skill 2 Souleater to slow the enemy while creating a shield, then basic attack continuously for true damage and healing.

Passive Plunder :

• Maloch ‘s range is longer than other melee heroes, so you don’t need to get too close when attacking.
• Attack continuously right after any skill lands on an enemy hero for true damage and healing over 6 seconds (watch the icon and timer above Maloch ‘s head)

Skill 1 Cleave :

• Charge Skill 1 while moving to keep the enemy within range to avoid missing.
• Charge it then use Flicker to close in for a surprise hit.
• Try to swing and hit as many enemy heroes as possible for more healing.

Skill 2 Souleater :

• Use this skill to slow the enemy, then basic attack or cast Skill 1 Cleave for better effect.
• Close in enough before casting to avoid missing, and try to hit as many targets as possible for a bigger shield.

Skill 3 Shock :

• Use this skill to open fights, contest objectives, cut off the enemy’s path, or escape a fight.
• Take advantage of the crowd-control immunity while preparing to fly up to dodge enemy crowd control.
• Jump into the middle of the enemy team in a fight for wide-area damage and to slow multiple targets.

In the early game, Maloch is very strong in skill trades, so play a bit more proactively.

Continuously use Skill 1 Cleave to clear minions fast and attack the enemy, then take advantage of the healing from passive Plunder to hold your lane.

With these advantages, you can easily dominate your lane, setting the enemy back or even taking their turret early.

Once you have Skill 3 Shock , Maloch becomes very useful in fights, so clear minions fast then rotate to gank and join fights.

A good strategy is to cut off the enemy’s path or hide in a bush, then use your ultimate to jump in and launch the enemy team to open the fight.

With abundant true damage, Maloch can duel any hero, but be careful of mobile enemy heroes who can kite him.

By the late game, play a bit slower and more carefully when diving into the enemy formation with your ultimate to avoid getting deleted right after landing.

Always keep an eye on the enemy’s core damage dealer to seize the opportunity: use Skill 3 Shock to fly in, then swing Skill 1 Cleave precisely to take them down, securing the fight.

Also use your ultimate sensibly to contest Dragon and Caesar when you see the enemy attacking them, which also increases your chances of winning the match.
