 I’ve been having success with early building Malph as an AP bruiser. It helps you push the lane pre-6th and scales up into beastly damage late. Start with Doran’s ring and build into Rod of Ages as a core item. I suggest Catalyst of the protector first. This will help solve your early mana issues and give a health boost while building into Rod of Ages. One guide suggested double Doran rings, but I favor getting boots right away. Depending on situation I either get Sorc boots for Penetration, or Merc Treads. The rest is up to you depending on the situation. Sunfire, Randuin’s, Rylai’s, Abyssmal, Frozen Heart, Iceborn, Liandry’s, Spirit Visage, Warmogs, Iron Golem, Thornmail, Rabadon’s all viable to name a few.
