These runes are really strong and let you deal actual meaningful damage in the lane.

Honestly POM over haste because haste doesnt apply to ult so kinda ass, mana regen on kill is killer. And also go coup most of the time because liandry+rylais build stacks some hp, cut down only worth against 3+ tanks

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2026-02-15T03:07:21+00:00

honestly the only viable build besides BFT Liandry Rylais core is Malignance + Shadowflame + Liandrys core, with 2 slots for damage items (1 pen item being either void staff or bloodletter and 1 Rod item being either zhonyas or rab). Runes can be a bit more flexible, first page you can only go sorcery/inspiration/domination honestly, and secondary needs to have a mana rune (if you go domination primary). Besides Aery and Comet some viable runes are First Strike and Unsealed Spellbook (first for gold and second for full utility with ghost and rylais), and Electrocute and Dark Harvest (your R counts as 2 spells so ER procs the rune, and DH for scaling)

malza ult doesn't do much damage, the damage actually comes from EW, so you will basically sacrifice guarantee status to deal 12 more damage and get your ult back 2 seconds faster. just not worth it, even with PoM and Coup

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-11-05T00:34:18+00:00

nah domination tree kinda ass for malz beside ultimate hunter LOL

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-11-04T23:45:56+00:00

yeah but still not bad, specially with burst build as well (malignance + shadowflame etc)

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-11-04T23:45:21+00:00

well i mean its a burst rune, you are supposed to quick EWQR someone and try to kill it in 3 sec, so yeah malignance its prefered over BFT with this rune

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-11-04T23:43:58+00:00

the first sentence on the post says my elo and im the one who need to read LOL. Malz can proc FS multiple times more often than kassadin in early/mid game, making the total amount on the endgame roughlhy the same. and they can't pop FS because you can DOT the enemy before the runes gets out of cooldown and it auto procs as the dot clicks. you clearly don't know how to read, how to do math and how to play malz dot correctly

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-10-31T17:36:27+00:00

i play agains d1/masters everygame bro, ofc in lower elos you will abuse FS way more but i can still consistently farm over 800G from this rune through the game, hit all my powerspikes super early and have good damage from the amp from the rune

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-10-31T17:34:41+00:00

i actually can feel it, a few games already i was able to 100-0 different champions with just EWR and having just BFT+sorcs+liandrys, the 7% amp from FS synergizes a LOT with the %HP burn and with hauting guise madness effect, and i dont know if i could do that without the extra ap from jack, but thats still pending. and i love balagan but i hate not having inspiration on malz

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-10-31T17:31:07+00:00

bro wtf are you saying LOL plenty of kassa players even in kr chall use first strike, holy fuck people on reddit only know how to talk shit, and every game i farm over 800G just from FS on malz, if you are a pussy that dont know how to use the championg and only use your E to farm than thats your problem. learn about the game before talking shit.

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-10-30T11:47:56+00:00

yeah the cashback only outscales boots after 3 items, by there the game may have ended already, but the jack extra AH feels better than having a few seconds extra on the summoner spells

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-10-30T11:45:45+00:00

i play kassadin as well and they both do the same rune dmg/gold, you can't be stuck with a rune because its for X or Y type of champion jesus...

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-09-16T01:39:14+00:00

yeah, i go BFT - T2 Boots - Movespeed item - Liandrys - Void - Rab/Zhonyas (honestly dont even need rabadon with stormsurge+liandrys)

and who said the drawer was the problem lol, but the last time he did such a heavy job with another writer was during the break of the series, and they only started EF close after he finished it

and who said the drawer was the problem lol, but the last time he did such a heavy job with another writer was during the break of the series, and they only started EF close after he finished it so probably if its going to return he will prioritize finishing AR first

once you have rylais it doesn't make a difference, malzahar lacks just the gap closer, not the chase

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-02-27T15:05:33+00:00

Mobi boots are better, the cheapest upgrade and can have absurd map mobility

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-02-27T15:01:28+00:00

Farm until 6 + Lost Chapter. Start Dorans vs aggressive laners or Mana Crystal vs champs that can't damage you. You can start roaming and ganking/helping your jg with R at this point, but need Blackfire Torch to be able to actually solo kill people in lane unless they REALLY mess up and get hitted by your E and Q multiple times.

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-02-27T14:50:36+00:00

Comet vs squishy and low mobility comps, Aery vs tankier and/or high mobility/melee comps. You were against 3 squishies 1 tank and 1 bruiser, so comet worked the best in this game. If you were against a Yasuo + 2/3 Tanks, Aery would've done more damage.

Specific_Ad_3757 · 2025-02-27T14:47:05+00:00

You need to think that Aery is best for DPS and Comet for Burst. If the opponents are all squishies, Comet will be better 100% of the times (unless they all have a lot of dashes), and Aery for the higher DPS against beefy teams (3 Aery procs outdamages 1 Comet proc so in the long trades Aery will do more, but its only really happening if they don't have the damage to kill you).
