Malzahar, the Prophet of the Void, is a champion in the popular online game League of Legends. With his dark and mysterious powers, he has captivated players since his release in 2010. Over the years, Malzahar has received various skins, each offering a unique visual and thematic twist to his character. One such skin is the 'Hextech Malzahar,' which was released on November 10, 2016, and can be purchased for 1350 RP.
The Hextech Malzahar skin takes the Prophet of the Void to a whole new level, transforming him into a futuristic and technologically advanced version of himself. This skin features a sleek black and blue color scheme, with intricate hextech patterns adorning his armor. The Voidling creatures that accompany Malzahar also receive a futuristic makeover, with glowing blue energy emanating from their bodies.
One of the standout features of the Hextech Malzahar skin is the unique visual effects it brings to the champion's abilities. When casting his Q ability, Call of the Void, Malzahar unleashes a wave of hextech energy that ripples through the ground, leaving a trail of blue particles in its wake. His W ability, Void Swarm, summons futuristic voidlings that swarm around enemies, leaving behind a trail of blue energy as they attack. The E ability, Malefic Visions, infects enemies with a hextech virus, causing them to take damage over time while being surrounded by blue particles. Finally, his ultimate ability, Nether Grasp, immobilizes enemies with a powerful beam of hextech energy, enveloping them in a blue vortex.
Aside from the stunning visual effects, the Hextech Malzahar skin also features new sound effects that further enhance the futuristic theme. The voiceover for this skin is altered, giving Malzahar a more mechanical and otherworldly tone. These small details add to the overall immersion and make playing as Hextech Malzahar a truly unique experience.
Now, let's delve into the lore and story behind Malzahar and his place in the League of Legends universe. Malzahar was once a seer from Shurima, a powerful empire that fell into ruin. He became obsessed with the Void, a dark and dangerous dimension that threatened to consume Runeterra. In his quest for knowledge and power, Malzahar lost himself to the Void, becoming its prophet and spreading its influence.
In the game, Malzahar is a mage who excels at controlling and suppressing his enemies. His passive ability, Void Shift, grants him a shield when he hasn't taken damage for a few seconds, making him resilient in fights. His Q ability, Call of the Void, sends out a wave of energy that damages and silences enemies caught in its path. His W ability, Void Swarm, summons voidlings that attack nearby enemies, dealing additional damage. The E ability, Malefic Visions, infects enemies with a void virus, causing them to take damage over time. Finally, his ultimate ability, Nether Grasp, suppresses a single enemy champion, dealing damage over time and rendering them unable to move or cast abilities.
Malzahar's playstyle revolves around setting up his abilities to maximize damage and crowd control. He excels at catching out-of-position enemies and locking them down with his ultimate, making him a potent pick in team fights and skirmishes. However, he is relatively squishy and vulnerable to crowd control himself, requiring careful positioning and timing to be effective.
Throughout his journey in League of Legends, Malzahar has received several skins that offer players different visual and thematic experiences. From the menacing Shadow Prince Malzahar to the cosmic-themed Dark Star Malzahar, each skin brings a fresh take on the champion's appearance and abilities.

Lore:
A zealous seer dedicated to the unification of all life, Malzahar truly believes the newly emergent Void to be the path to Runeterra's salvation. In the desert wastes of Shurima, he followed the voices that whispered in his mind, all the way to ancient Icathia. Amidst the ruins of that land, he gazed into the dark heart of the Void itself, and was gifted new power and purpose. Malzahar now sees himself as a shepherd, empowered to bring others into the fold… or to release the voidling creatures that dwell beneath.
Ally tips:
Wait to cast Void Swarm until there are nearby enemies for the Voidling to attack or kill. Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies. Avoiding damage in lane maximizes the uptime on Void Shift, increasing Malzahar's safety dramatically.
Enemy tips:
When Malzahar hits a spell on enemies affected by Malefic Visions, the Visions are refreshed.Avoid minion waves that have been affected by Malefic Visions. You never know when they may die and pass the Visions onto you.Malzahar is especially dangerous when he has built up his Void Swarm.
