Summoner spell

Pantheon casting Smite on Red Brambleback

For champion abilities, see champion ability.

Summoner spells are abilities that players can use for their champions on the Fields of Justice.

They are chosen in Champion Select before the start of the game. Each player is allowed two summoner spells chosen from a list. Summoner spells can be used in game to aid a player’s champion in various ways as each spell has a unique effect. Some summoner spells increase in effectiveness relative to your champion's level, but some provide the same effect at champion level 1 as they do at champion level 18. They do not have any cost other than their cooldown.

All summoner spells, at the exception of Flash and Teleport, can be used while silenced or hard crowd controled.

Available summoner spells

A summoner spell's availability is based on the player's summoner level. At summoner level one, a player begins with 2 summoner spells to choose from. Then as a summoner reaches new levels, they unlock new summoner spells, up to summoner level 9.

Reducing the cooldown

There are three ways to reduce the cooldown of summoner spells.

• Cosmic Insight
• Ionian Boots of Lucidity
• Howling Abyss aura

The 15 second cooldown of Smite is not affected by summoner spell cooldown reduction, but the rate at which Smite charges are generated is affected.
