“Take up that blade and use it. Use it to slake your sword’s thirst. Show mercy to no one.”
- The Noxian general who executed Muramaisu’s father in his note to him, to tell him of his deep guilt for his mislead actions.
When Noxus had claimed the southern regions of Ionia, many were
separated from their loved ones and stripped of freedom. Muramaisu was
living with his family at the age of fourteen when Noxus took over, a
day he remembers vividly, no matter how much he wishes to forget it. On
that fateful day, a Noxian soldier came to the young boy's home, and invited
himself in, making it known that any and all of Ionian's possessions would now
belong to Noxus. His father, one of a number of Ionians to openly oppose the
Noxian invasion, took up the family blade before he told the man to leave and
that they would never give up their land. After the soldier predictably mocked his pride,
Muramaisu’s father charged the soldier, intent not on harming him, but
to give warning. His attack was evaded and he was apprehended and
disarmed.
His father’s public execution was publicly announced and carried out
later that same day with mandatory attendance, lest those absent become
the next victims. Being forced to watch his father be brutally beheaded
and his head displayed, he feared deeply for his own family’s safety,
and hoped to do anything he could to keep them safe. After the event ended
he collected the family sword and brought it home.
A few days later, the same general who performed the execution came to
his home with a smug look as he stated he heard his mother didn’t attend
the execution, which Muramaisu knew to be a lie. As the man went to
apprehend her, he went tried to shove him away and begged him to spare
her. Amused, he asked what young Muramaisu could possibly do for him. A
deal was struck. Muramaisu fights for the Noxian military, and his
family will be spared.
A deal the general had no intention of keeping.
Muramaisu had been forced to fight in many battles, most of which came
to be unsung, but the most horrifying was his first. He had been armed
with his family blade, which was a little too heavy and large for him to
wield, and managed to strike down over eighteen men. Every kill made
him sick to his stomach, but he pressed on for the safety of his family.
After the battle, he came home to a sight that robbed him of all
innocence. His home had been stained with blood and no one was to be
found. On the door to his mother’s room, he found a note from the
general that explained that after the execution of his family for
failing to attend his father’s execution, he had learned of the terrible
falsified claims that lead to their deaths and struck down the liars
himself. That day, Muramaisu abandoned all compassion and his value of
the lives of others and continued to fight for Noxus over the next seven
years, as he had nothing more to live for.
Over the years and bloody battles, it was noted by those who witnessed
him fight and live, that he showed unparalleled skill with his blade and
was more than willing to cleave through his Noxian “allies” to achieve
his murderous goals on the battlefield. Even going so far as to say he
enjoyed feeling their blood spray on his skin.
After Ionia was liberated, he found he had nowhere to go, as no one
would accept him, and he had no family outside of those who were
heartlessly taken from him. His own homeland had abandoned him.
He decided to live atop a remote mountain and live as a hermit, heartlessly
striking down all who came near.
When he heard of the League and the powerful champions within it, he at
once set out, intent on soaking himself in the blood of his enemies and
listening to their gargled screams of mercy. But it wasn't just the call of
worthy opponents that roused him from his solitude. No, that wasn't it at all.
It was the realms' names that the wind carried with it.
"Noxus."
"Ionia."
His thirst for killing was renewed and his desire for vengeance ignited. For him, the war was never over.

Gameplay tips
As Muramaisu
Remember to space ability use between basic attacks to maximize damage.
Blood Spray will proc most on-hit effects including your passive. None of which are AoEs.
Blood Spray hits slightly behind Muramaisu.
Enemies within and slightly beyond basic attack range will spray blood a short distance
behind them when struck by Blood Spray. Use this to briefly blind
incoming melee champions that are trying to help their allies.
Blood Lust gains power when anything dies within your sight radius, but
allies and lane minions will give half the power and duration.
Blood Lust's effect won't wear off as long as you don't stop attacking
something, even when something hasn't died near you. Remember this when
jungling. It's timer keeps going however.
Ittai Strike will not counter AoE spells.
Sanguine Blade does 20% more damage if you wait the whole four seconds after activation.
Sanguine Blade will attack your target even if they exit it's range
after you select them. It will be cancelled if you lose sight of them
though.
Muramaisu can take on a variety of roles depending on his build. Think ahead and take the enemy's team into mind as you play.
His ability to combo is somewhat awkward. Be careful when you try to burst.
He's fragile, so building straight AD is a risky move.
Against Muramaisu
He has no reliable form of harassment, so use range early game to zone him and weaken him late game.
He also lacks reliable escapes and gap closers.
Muramaisu is capable of dishing out massive damage in a very short
period of time, especially if he catches you by surprise. Do your best
to ward potential places he could use to surprise you.
Keep a little distance from your allies if his Blood Spray is available as he could blind you with the blood splatter.
Focus him with your team during big fights. Even more so if there are
minions nearby, as his Blood Lust makes him become extremely powerful
when anything dies near him, even his allies.
Muramaisu's Blood Lust won't gain power while he's stunned, rooted or knocked around.
Even if he has high power in his Blood Lust, he's still highly vulnerable to magic damage unless he builds Magic Resist.
Building a Thorn Mail can make him think twice about attacking you.
Do your best to engage him in open areas that lack minions.
Recommended Items
Depending on the role you are playing him as, his build can vary surprisingly.
In general, a Frozen Mallet or Trinity Force will benefit him greatly, and Blood Spray can proc their on-hit effects.
As a jungler, a Ravenous Hydra will give him even greater survivability
and allows his Blood Lust to build up faster against the minion camps.
For offensive purposes, Berserker's Greaves or Ionian Boots of Lucidity make great choices for him, with furor or Alacrity to help him stay on his enemy.
As the game goes on, it can be worth while to buy a Blade of the Ruined
King, as Blood Spray will proc this as well, and the active can be used
to increase burst potential and some range.
If mages are giving you trouble, try a Maw of Malmortius, as the Magic
Resist and magic shield will keep you alive longer against their bursts
on top of the AD boost from lower health.
