Malphite is a champion in League of Legends.[1]

Abilities[]

Edit

Granite Shield

Innate - Shard of the Monolith: Malphite gains increased percentage size equal to 8% of his total armor, capped at 35% increased size at 437.5 armor.

Granite Shield

Innate: Malphite grants himself a Hybrid resistances icon shield for 9% of his maximum health. The shield lasts until it is broken, and refreshes after a few seconds of not taking damage.

Info
  • Malphite's increased size is affected by his base armor and growth, but also reduced by Black Cleaver Black Cleaver. His increased size does not consider Thunderclap's Thunderclap's bonus armor.
    • The bonus will become a size reduction if Malphite is dropped to negative armor values.
  • Granite Shield does not refresh its cooldown from damage that is mitigated by Hybrid resistances icon shields.

Edit

Seismic Shard

Seismic Shard

Active: Malphite sends a shard to the target enemy that deals magic damage and Slow icon slows them for 3 seconds.

Magic Damage:
70 / 120 / 170 / 220 / 270 (+ 60% AP)
Slow:
20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40%

Malphite also gains Movement speed icon bonus movement speed equal to the raw amount the target lost from the slow for the duration.

Info
  • The rock spawns 100 units in front of Malphite.
  • Malphite will gain the bonus movement speed for the full duration as long as Seismic Shard impacts the target.
    • Both a buff shown in the hotbar and duration bar above the ability icon will indicate the remaining duration.
  • Seismic Shard's movement speed gain is entirely based off the target's current, and loss of, movement speed.
    • Targets that are already Slow icon slowed by another effect will grant Malphite diminished movement speed.
    • Slow immune icon Slow-resistant and Slow immune 2 slow-immune targets will reduce or nullify Malphite's gain.
  • If the target becomes Untargetable icon untargetable, Death dies, or is too far away or no longer in Sight icon sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on Cooldown icon cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).

Edit

Thunderclap

Passive: Malphite gains Armor icon bonus armor, tripled while Granite Shield Granite Shield is active.

Bonus Armor:
10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30% armor
Increased Bonus Armor:
30 / 45 / 60 / 75 / 90% armor
Thunderclap

Active: Malphite empowers his next basic attack within 6 seconds to have an Relentless Force 2 uncancelable windup, gain Range icon 50 bonus range, and deal Critical strike physical icon bonus physical damage On-hit icon on-hit.

Bonus Physical Damage:
30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 (+ 20% AP) (+ 15% armor)

Additionally, Malphite's basic attacks On-hit icon on-hit for the next 5 seconds are empowered to trigger a cone in the direction of the target that deals physical damage to enemies hit.

Physical Damage:
15 / 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 (+ 30% AP) (+ 15% armor)

Thunderclap Bladework resets Malphite's basic attack timer.

Info
  • The passive will amplify negative armor, too, if Malphite's armor is dropped that low.
  • The empowered attack:
  • The cone starts from Malphite's location.
    • Unlike similar spells, it does not deal its damage separately to the primary target of the attack(s); if the target is outside the area of effect when struck, it will not take the bonus damage.
  • PENDING FOR TEST:: Interaction with parrying effects (Jax Counter Strike old dodge, Spirit's Refuge block, Blind icon blind).
  • Taking into account Malphite's base attack speed and attack speed growth, he'll be able to use up to 4-6 (levels 1-18) empowered attacks (including the initial one).
    • With 2.5 attack speed, he'll be able to use up to 12.

Edit

Ground Slam

Ground Slam

Active: Malphite slams the ground beneath him, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies and Cripple icon crippling them for 3 seconds.

Magic Damage:
70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 (+ 60% AP) (+ 40% armor)
Cripple:
30 / 35 / 40 / 45 / 50%

Info

Map-Specific Differences
ProfileIcon0664 Mirror Mode One for All differences edit
  • The Cripple icon cripple can be applied more than once; it can be stacked by multiple Ground Slams.

Edit

Unstoppable Force

Unstoppable Force

Active: Malphite Dash dashes with Unstoppable icon displacement immunity to the target location. Upon arrival, he deals magic damage to nearby enemies and Airborne icon knocks them up for 1.5 seconds.

Magic Damage:
200 / 300 / 400 (+ 90% AP)

Unstoppable Force will cast at max range if cast beyond that.

Info
  • The dash speed can be up-to doubled if Unstoppable Force is targeted at the middle of a wall so that his destination ends up on the other side.
    • It will be decreased if his destination ends up closer to him than his target location.
  • If Malphite dies during his Dash dash, the ability cancels.
    • If the dash is interrupted without Malphite dying, for instance when he enters Revival icon resurrection during Unstoppable Force, he halts and the ability instead affects enemies at the stopped location.

Malphite OriginalSkin
Original
RP 585
01.09.2009
A massive creature of living stone, Malphite was born from the heart of the great Ixtali construct known as the Monolith. He has studied the elemental balance of Runeterra for centuries, using his tremendous strength to maintain order in a frequently chaotic world, and crush the dark things that crawl beneath it. Now, roused all too often from his slumbers, Malphite endures the fluid temperaments of mortals, in pursuit of the only cause worthy of the last of his kind.
