Introduction
One day, without warning, a dimensional rift opened, and he was summoned across the cosmos to the world of Runeterra. The transition was painful and terrifying for him, as he was cut off from the song of his people and the Monolith - things that had been ever-present in him since the day he was born. He raged, trapped in the Summoning Circle, as those who had called him made their plea. Runeterra was a world that had nearly been consumed by its disharmony. It was a world that needed champions to bring order out of chaos. It was to that end that the rock-creature was summoned, so that he could aid them in this quest. Looking past his own fear and apprehension, Malphite could see that this was a respectable goal, and one in which he could participate - perhaps uniquely so. Today, as part of the League of Legends, he hammers those who would seek to upset Valoran's movement toward order, especially turning his attention to those that wield chaotic magic. Unfortunately, Malphite has also begun to change, as he has been forced to face his own profound loneliness among the world's vibrant individuality.
"Beware, minions of chaos! The Shard of the Monolith has come."

Due to Malphite's Granite Shield, Ground Slam and Unstoppable Force, he is extremely well-suited to a tanking and initiating role.
Unstoppable Force is one of the best initiating abilities in the game, as it transports Malphite to the target location and knocks up all nearby enemies. Malphite is also immune to disables during the dash.
Remember to allow Granite Shield to recharge if a team fight is about to start.
Seismic Shard is a strong ability with several utilities:
It can be used for harassment and poking in lane, with some mana regen.
In a teamfight, Seismic Shard help Malphite stick to the enemy's carries.
When escaping or chasing, Seismic Shard will simultaneously slow them while hasting yourself.
Using Brutal Strikes will cause Ground Slam to deal more damage due to the increased armor.
Malphite's standard combo is first activating Brutal Strikes, slowing an enemy with Seismic Shard, charging in with Unstoppable Force, then ending with Ground Slam. With a high amount of armor, this combo can shut down multiple enemies at once, especially if they're melee-DPS.
Malphite excels at being an anti-carry, designed to stop carries in their tracks with his Ground Slam and then destroy them with his high damage output.
Malphite can make a strong counter to certain solo top champions, such as Tryndamere or Irelia that have few ranged options and need to auto-attack to secure lane control. Use Seismic Shard to harass and Ground Slam to interfere with lasthits, giving you free reign to farm.

Malphite was designed by Coronach.
When Malphite punches the ground with his Ground Slam attack, he leaves a glowing fist imprint of the Riot Games logo.
Malphite is one of a few champions that actually have multiple textures in one skin. When his Granite Shield passive is broken, he appears as though he is made of molten rock until the passive recharges and then reverts back to his normal texture. When Malphite activates Brutal Strikes he has a different type of molten rock texture with glowing arms.
Malphite's original cost was 3150 . It was lowered to 1350 on April 12, 2011.
Malphite's dance resembles Capoeira called Ginga. A side-by-side comparison can be seen here .

Malphite comes from another world called the Monolith. It is a world of perfect harmony, where the essence of all its denizens are but singular pieces of the whole.
Although Malphite disagrees with Maokai's view of life as a curse, Malphite also stated that he is "... proud to call the Twisted Treant my ally", suggesting that these two elemental champions get along quite well despite their differences.
Malphite meditates near the caverns surrounding the Institute of War.
