Does Malphite's E (the ground smash) work when his enemies are airborne?

Malphite's ult temporarily makes the target(s) airborne. During that time, will his E (the ground smash) damage them, or would it only work if they are on the ground?
I would hate to think that I've wasted all these E's because I triggered it right after ulting.
Best Answer
It will hit.
Champions that are airborne/knocked-up are still vulnerable to every kind of damage in the game, so the AOE damage from Malhpite's E will hit them.
