Malphite Shard of the Monolith
A massive creature of living stone, Malphite struggles to impose blessed order on a chaotic world. Birthed as a servitor-shard to an otherworldly obelisk known as the Monolith, he used his tremendous elemental strength to maintain and protect his progenitor, but ultimately failed. The only survivor of the destruction that followed, Malphite now endures Runeterra's soft folk and their fluid temperaments, while struggling to find a new role worthy of the last of his kind.

MetaBot Tips

- Malphite is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
- Malphite has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
- Malphite has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
- Malphite has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.

Gameplay Tips
Playing Malphite
- 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.
Playing Against Malphite
- If you're a physical damage character stay behind your allies when fighting Malphite. Ground Slam can significantly reduce your damage output.
- Malphite is one of a couple tanks who are capable of jungling. Watch out if he gets Smite.
