Malphite

Tank

A massive creature of living stone, Malphite struggles to impose blessed order on a chaotic world.

Strengths

  • Armor naturally reduces the rate that attacks go through Granite Shield, so Brutal Strikes will strengthen the shield against physical damage.
  • Despite his abilities scaling on Armor, some games require Malphite to get Magic Resist. When those games occur, try getting Aegis of the Legion, Mercury's Treads, and Guardian Angel.

Abilities

  • Passive · Granite Shield — Malphite is shielded by a layer of rock which absorbs damage up to 10% of his maximum Health. If Malphite has not been hit for a few seconds, this effect recharges.
  • Q · Seismic Shard — Malphite sends a shard of the earth through the ground at his foe, dealing damage upon impact and stealing Move Speed for 3 seconds.
  • W · Thunderclap — Malphite attacks with such force that it creates a sonic boom. For the next few seconds, his attacks create aftershocks in front of him.
  • E · Ground Slam — Malphite slams the ground, sending out a shockwave that deals magic damage based on his Armor and reduces the Attack Speed of enemies for a short duration.
  • Ultimate · Unstoppable Force — Malphite launches himself to a location at high speed, damaging enemies and knocking them into the air.
