Malphite
GameplayMalphite is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Malphite's increased size is affected by his base armor and growth, but also reduced by Black Cleaver. His increased size does not consider 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 shields.
- 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.
- Both a
- Seismic Shard's movement speed gain is entirely based off the target's current, and loss of, movement speed.
- Targets that are already slowed by another effect will grant Malphite diminished movement speed.
- Slow-resistant and slow-immune targets will reduce or nullify Malphite's gain.
- Targets that are already
- Spell shield will block the damage and the slow but not the bonus movement speed gain.
- If the target becomes untargetable, dies, or is too far away or no longer in sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
- The passive will amplify negative armor, too, if Malphite's armor is dropped that low.
- The empowered attack:
- Benefits from Thunderclap's cone effect.
- Prevents Malphite from casting Seismic Shard and Ground Slam during its windup.
- Cannot have its windup canceled by new movement or attack commands, or casting Unstoppable Force.
- Can have its windup canceled by casting Hextech Rocketbelt.
- 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 ( dodge, block, 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.
- The cripple stacks multiplicatively with other sources of attack speed reductions.
- This ability will cast from wherever the caster is at the end of the cast time.
- One for All differences edit
- 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, the ability cancels.
- If the dash is interrupted without Malphite dying, for instance when he enters resurrection during Unstoppable Force, he halts and the ability instead affects enemies at the stopped location.
- If the dash is interrupted without Malphite dying, for instance when he enters

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.
