The rune set is a personal preference and it's centered on ability power and magic penetration.I feel AP runes are better then CDR or Mana Regen.

Your typical 9-0-21 caster build.

Ignite helps getting first blood or some early kills. Casting Ignite works with your passive and it does not break your ultimate's channel.


Flash is your escape tool. Malzahar lacks any form of CC so having Flash helps you survive/escape. But you can use Flash in an offensive manner early game to surprise your dying opponent with your deadly combo.

SkillsPassive: Summon Voidling

After casting 4 spells, Malzahar summons an uncontrollable Voidling to engage enemy units for 21 seconds. Voidlings have 200 + 50 x lvl Health and 20 + 5 x lvl Damage.

Voidlings Grow after 7 seconds (+50% Damage/Armor), and Frenzy after 14 seconds (+100% Attack Speed).



Q: Call of the Void

Malzahar opens two portals to the void. After a short delay, they fire projectiles which deal 80 / 135 / 190 / 245 / 300 (+80% of ability power) magic damage and silence champions for 1.4 / 1.8 / 2.2 / 2.6 / 3 seconds.

Cost 90 / 100 / 110 / 120 / 130mana
Range 900

The damage is based on the position of your target. For example, if the target is in the center point of Q, he gets hit by both projectiles and receives full damage plus a longer duration of silence. If only one projectile hits the target he only receives half damage and a shorter duration of silence. It is actualy an easy skill to dodge so you should only use it when you're certain the target will stay for the damage.




W: Null Zone

Malzahar creates a zone of negative energy for 5 seconds. The zone damages nearby enemies for 5/6/7/8/9% (+0.01%) of their max health each second (damage to Monsters is capped).

Cooldown 16 seconds

E: Malefic Visions
