Baron Nashor is the most powerful neutral monster on Summoner's Rift in League of Legends. Killing Baron Nashor grants Hand of Baron Hand of Baron to all living teammates for 180 seconds. The buff gives bonus attack damage, bonus ability power, Empowered Recall Empowered Recall, and an aura that greatly increases the power of nearby minions.

Lore

Baron Nashor Baron Nashor is a voidborn creature residing on Summoner's Rift. This one of a kind creature has a shape and behavior of a river serpent. What differentiates it from a regular serpent is its numerous arachnid appendages, as well as two additional mouths protruding from its head area. The creature has 12 eyes (some of them injured due to past battles), a mouth with sharp teeth that can gape open wide for larger prey, and horned like crests on the top of the head. The colours of the creatures exoskeleton go from dark purple to light teal. This creature was believed to be deceased for numerous centuries, but due to recent Void rifts opening on Summoner's Rift it has reemerged again.


Abilities

The following list displays the known set of abilities that Baron Nashor may perform. While not revealed in a player's Death Recap, their debuffs and animations are visible and distinctive, allowing players to work around them.

Basic Attacks

  • Melee attack: Deals 100% AD to all enemies within a 175-unit radius.
  • Single-target rear Attack: Erects a spike that deals 100% AD damage and Stun icon stuns for 1 second.
  • Area-of-effect rear Attack: Erects a cluster of spikes dealing 50% AD damage and Stun icon stunning for 1 second.

Passives

  • Presence of the Baron: While Baron Nashor is alive, all obstructing units, wards, and targetable traps are shoved to the edge of the pit.
  • Debuff Immunity: Immune to all forms of crowd control except Stasis icon stasis. Additionally, Baron Nashor's stats cannot be reduced by any means.
  • Baron's Gaze Baron's Gaze: Baron Nashor takes 50% reduced damage from the champion that he has most recently basic attacked for 15 seconds.
  • Voracious Corrosion Voracious Corrosion: Reduces the target's armor and magic resistance by 0.5, stacking up to 100 times for a total of 50 maximum reduction. Basic attacks apply two stacks.
  • Void Corruption: Basic attacks cause another burst of 60 (+ 20% AD) bonus magic damage that can occur every 0.75 seconds. This attack targets the nearest champion with the lowest number of Voracious Corrosion Voracious Corrosion stacks, applying another stack.

Actives

Baron Nashor will activate an ability once every 6 auto attacks. Baron's first spell will be random. However, all spells after the first may be predicted; Baron Nashor's ability rotation is cyclical (ex. Acid Pool > Acid Shot > Tentacle Knockup > Acid Pool).
  • Acid Pool: Baron Nashor spits out 3 pools of acid in a cone in front of him, dealing 10% AD magic damage to all champions hit and creating a field that Slow icon slows targets' movement speed within the pool's radius.
  • Acid Shot: Baron Nashor spits acid down along a straight line, dealing 20% AD magic damage to all enemies it hits.
  • Tentacle Knockup: After a brief delay, Baron Nashor Airborne icon knocks up all enemies at the target location, dealing 25% AD magic damage. Tremors will indicate the targeted location.

Strategy

Baron Nashor is a highly coveted objective that is difficult to fight without proper strength and personnel. A tank to endure the damage is almost always required, otherwise there are few champions that can battle the monster self-sufficiently, mainly utilizing immense sustainability and DPS.

Securing Baron Nashor is a high-risk investment with the resistance-shred debuff and the confined pit providing an advantage to an intervening counterattack. Vision control of the pit is also essential to securing the kill, obscuring the opportune moment to intervene and steal the objective. With these risks, fighting Baron Nashor is preferably conducted while the enemy is indisposed.
