Malphite

Malphite is a champion in the multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends. He is a melee champion classified as a tank, known for his high defensive capabilities and powerful area-of-effect ultimate ability. Malphite's lore describes him as a being of living stone, born from the heart of a mountain on the planet of Runeterra. He is driven by a desire to protect the natural world from corruption and destruction.

In terms of gameplay, Malphite's abilities focus on his resilience and ability to disrupt enemy teams. His passive ability, Granite Shield, grants him a protective barrier that absorbs damage. His first ability, Seismic Shard, allows him to hurl a rock at an enemy, dealing damage and slowing their movement. His second ability, Twilight Air, creates a damaging area around him, slowing enemies who enter it. His third ability, Ground Slam, causes him to slam the ground, dealing damage to nearby enemies and reducing their attack speed. Malphite's ultimate ability, Unstoppable Force, is a signature ability that allows him to charge forward in a straight line, knocking up and dealing damage to any enemies he hits. This ability is often used to initiate team fights or to disrupt enemy formations. Malphite is typically played in the top lane, where he can farm gold and experience safely and then impact team fights with his ultimate. His item builds usually prioritize defensive stats like armor and magic resistance, along with cooldown reduction to allow for more frequent use of his abilities, especially his ultimate.
