Malachite, the Green Warden, whose scales glitter like the rarest gems, is said to have hatched in a lightning-struck tree in the Stormlands.
One fateful day, a greedy lord from House Baratheon sought to fell the ancient trees for his war machines. Malachite’s roar was so thunderous it made the very earth tremble and caused the lord to wet his breeches! The soldiers fled in terror, leaving their axes and saws to rust.
Now, the only axes in that forest are the ones Malachite lets the squirrels play with. His roar is a guardian’s cry, a sound that ensures the ancient forest remains untouched by the greed of men.
Gameplay Details
Malachite is a Legendary support-oriented Tactical Sentinel who strengthens allied offense and survivability through broad buffing, sustained Recovery, and powerful early-round empowerment. He excels at enabling his team’s damage dealers by granting Advantage, increasing allied Strength, and granting First-Strike and Double-Strike. At the same time, he provides steady healing and targeted defensive utility, helping his team maintain pressure without sacrificing durability.
He performs best in compositions built around one or two high-value offensive allies who can fully exploit his enhancement tools, and where his mix of sustain, offensive support, and early-round amplification can create decisive momentum swings.
