Dragon Slayer is a team-wide stacking neutral buff granted by the Dragon. It is available only on Summoner's Rift.

Slaying a dragon will grant a buff based on the element / color of the dragon slain; that buff can stack up to four times for a given element. However, two elemental drakes will appear only once on the map, and one will not appear at all, so in a given game only one element can stack. These buffs are granted to the entire team of the player who killed the dragon and last until the end of the game.

The Dragon Soul is a powerful team-wide neutral buff granted by the Dragon. It is available only on Summoner's Rift.

Slaying four elemental dragons will grant the soul of the dominating element after the rift changes.

Aspect of the DragonEdit
Description
Damaging enemies inflicts them with a burn that deals them 75 − 225 (based on minutes) true damage over 2.25 seconds, with the first tick occurring after 0.25 seconds and the others after 1 second each. This effect does not trigger from its own damage.
Damaging an enemy champion below 20% of their maximum health while Aspect of the Dragon's buff is active blasts them with Elder Immolation after 0.5 seconds, executing them, which destroys all shields before dealing 100% of their current health as true damage. Elder Immolation cannot occur on the same target from any of its buff holders more than once every 2 seconds. Elder Immolation cannot execute units with invulnerability or a minimum health threshold, but can execute through untargetability.

Aspect of the Dragon is a temporary team-wide neutral buff granted by the Elder Dragon, which spawns after a team has slain 4 elemental drakes. It is available only on Summoner's Rift.

The buff is lost upon a champion's death and cannot be transferred to another champion, unlike the Crest of Insight and Crest of Cinders, which are not team-wide buffs.
