Tips from the client

Playing as Malphite

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.

Playing against

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.

Lore and connections

Beware, minions of chaos! The Shard of the Monolith has come.

Malphite

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.
