Worldbreaker Malphite: Common Skin

The living stone awakens.

Features:

• 3 new artworks

This skin is available for purchase.

700 / 05-Jan-2022

Level 1

Struck by the warrior Anatu’s stray arrow, the greatest and final titan Malphite awakened from his centuries-old slumber, a forewarning of the world’s second end.
- The Epic of Anatu, Volume IV, Part 1

Level 2

He had been content to remain dormant, even as his fellow titans gloried in the chaos of destruction. But as punishment for disturbing his rest, Anatu and the rest of her kind would feel the full force of his wrath.
- The Epic of Anatu, Volume IV, Part 2

Unstoppable Force

Malphite plunged downwards, fist clenched. Upon impact, the earth gave a heaving, shuddering groan.

The world trembles before the Ibex.

Features:

• 5 new artworks

This skin is limited: From the Coven Event Pass 2023.

06-Dec-2023

Level 1

Few gods could rival the raw strength of the Jet-Black Ibex, incarnated into the form of the mountain itself. And even fewer witches could survive the mountain's steep and icy ascent--but the lone servant who succeeded would bring the winter back with her.

Level 2

"Clouds at my crown... godless men underfoot."

Malphite's Ground Slam

The Ibex's ire sunders the earth.

Rockslide

When the old god walks, all else is still.

Unstoppable Force

"Kneel, tiny foes." - Old God Malphite
