Malphite, Shard of the Monolith, is a melee tank and mage champion. In fights Malphite is a very durable champion who deals magic damage in bursts. Here are the augments Malphite players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.
Granite Shield (passive) absorbs 10% of your max Health, so the extra Health makes it larger, and the Adaptive Force adds to your damage.
Gain increased size and percent bonus Health per takedown.
Each takedown adds bonus Health, which also grows Granite Shield (passive), since it absorbs damage equal to 10% of your max Health.
Your Attacks deal additional physical damage equal to 3.5% of your max Health.
Thunderclap (W) makes you fight with attacks, and each attack now adds 3.5% of your max Health, so a tank build still deals real damage.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Malphite players take it.
