Siege minions are ranged minions. One siege minion spawns every three minion waves between the 
melee and 
caster minions.
Notes
- Siege minions upgrade every 90 seconds increasing their health, gold reward and AD. At the sixth upgrade they change their health scaling. Other than their gold reward, their stats increase infinitely.
- After 15 minutes, siege minions spawn once every 2 waves and from the 25th minute onward, siege minions spawn every wave to accelerate the game pace by making pushing easier.
- While under the effect of
Hand of Baron or Crest of Crushing Wrath, siege minions can out-range turrets.
