Obsidian Malphite

As great mountains were ripped from their foundations during the rise of the Ashen Lord, from deep beneath them climbed strange, obsidian creatures, freed for the first time after thousands of years. They seem intent on stopping the Infernals, and are uniquely suited to defeating them.

About Obsidian Malphite

Obsidian Malphite is a League of Legends skin that reshapes Malphite into a volcanic juggernaut of obsidian rock, marked by jagged black armor and molten lava cracks glowing with fiery energy.

  • The theme emphasizes volcanic power, with glossy obsidian textures, sharp rocky edges, and magma glowing through fissures.
  • Special features include fiery particle effects on abilities, glowing cracks, and a molten shield when his passive activates.
  • Obsidian Malphite is a standard tier skin released for 975 RP, occasionally returning via the legacy vault.
  • Lore is unaffected, though the skin depicts Malphite as an elemental forged from volcanic obsidian rather than ordinary stone.
  • Popularity is moderate, valued for its fiery aesthetic but overshadowed by Malphite’s more modern high-end skins.
  • Additional features include molten undertone sound effects and enhanced visual details across his body.
  • Fan reception is positive for its menacing style, though some desire more modern effects.
  • Gameplay effects are purely visual, with lava-themed particles enhancing ability impact without altering mechanics.
