Abilities

Passive: Void Shift
When he hasn't recently taken damage or been crowd controlled, Malzahar gains massive damage reduction and crowd control immunity, lingering for a short period after taking damage.

Q: Call of the Void
Malzahar opens up two portals to the Void. After a short delay, they fire projectiles that deal Magic Damage and silence enemy champions.

W: Void Swarm
Malzahar summons Voidlings to attack nearby enemies.

E: Malefic Visions
Malzahar infects his target's mind with cruel visions of their demise, dealing damage over time. Using Malzahar's other spells on the target will refresh the visions.

If the target dies while afflicted by the visions, they pass on to a nearby enemy unit and Malzahar gains Mana. Malzahar's Voidlings are attracted to affected units.

R: Nether Grasp
Malzahar channels the essence of the Void to suppress an enemy champion over a zone of damaging negative energy.

Ally Tips

  • Wait to cast Void Swarm until there are nearby enemies for the Voidling to attack or kill.

  • Use Call of the Void and Nether Grasp to renew the duration of Malefic Visions on enemies.

  • Avoiding damage in lane maximizes the uptime on Void Shift, increasing Malzahar's safety dramatically.

Opponent Tips

  • When Malzahar hits a spell on enemies affected by Malefic Visions, the Visions are refreshed.

  • Avoid minion waves that have been affected by Malefic Visions. You never know when they may die and pass the Visions onto you.

  • Malzahar is especially dangerous when he has built up his Void Swarm.

Lore

A zealous seer dedicated to the unification of all life, Malzahar truly believes the newly emergent Void to be the path to Runeterra's salvation. In the desert wastes of Shurima, he followed the voices that whispered in his mind, all the way to ancient Icathia. Amidst the ruins of that land, he gazed into the dark heart of the Void itself, and was gifted new power and purpose. Malzahar now sees himself as a shepherd, empowered to bring others into the fold… or to release the voidling creatures that dwell beneath.
