The Story of Malphite
Malphite, the Shard of the Monolith, is a champion in League of Legends known for his immense size and durability. He is an ancient creature made of living stone, brought to life by powerful elemental magic. Malphite's origins lie in the mountains of Ionia, where he stood as a guardian for centuries.
Long ago, Malphite was awakened by the rise of conflict in the world. He witnessed the destructive nature of humanity and felt compelled to intervene. With his immense strength and unyielding resolve, Malphite joined the League of Legends, hoping to bring balance and order to the chaos.
In the game, Malphite is primarily played as a tank and initiator. His abilities revolve around his rock-hard exterior and his ability to disrupt enemy formations. His passive ability, Granite Shield, grants him a shield that absorbs damage, making him incredibly resilient in team fights.
Malphite's Q ability, Seismic Shard, allows him to send a shockwave forward, damaging and slowing enemies. His W ability, Thunderclap, empowers his next basic attack to deal bonus damage and splash damage to nearby enemies. His E ability, Ground Slam, smashes the ground, damaging and reducing the attack speed of nearby enemies.
However, Malphite's most iconic ability is his ultimate, Unstoppable Force. With this ability, Malphite charges forward, knocking up and damaging all enemies in his path. It is a devastating initiation tool that can turn the tide of team fights in an instant.
Malphite's strengths lie in his ability to soak up damage and initiate team fights. His massive size and crowd control abilities make him a formidable presence on the battlefield. However, he lacks sustained damage and can be vulnerable to champions with high mobility or true damage.

Lore:
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.
Ally tips:
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.
Enemy tips:
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.
