  • Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies.
  • Avoiding damage in lane maximizes the uptime on Void Shift, increasing Malzahar's safety dramatically.

  • When Malzahar hits a spell on enemies affected by Malefic Visions, the Visions are refreshed.
