Super minions are powerful melee minion. They only spawn on lanes where enemy inhibitors are destroyed, and stop spawning when the inhibitor respawns. While super minions are spawning, no siege minion siege minion will spawn in that lane.

On Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline, when all inhibitors are destroyed, a second super minion will spawn in each lane.

Notes

  • They spawn at the front of minion waves.
  • On Twisted Treeline, super minions deal more damage but have less health.
  • They are controlled by artificial intelligence, and only use basic attacks to attack.
  • Super minions will stop spawning shortly before the enemy inhibitor is going to respawn to prevent the inhibitor from instantly being destroyed again because of super minions.
  • The item Banner of Command Banner of Command cannot be cast on super minions.

Stats

  • Their health, attack damage, and gold reward increase over time, with no known cap.
  • They receive 30% reduced damage from turrets.
  • They grant a buff called Super Mech to nearby minions (including other super minions) that increases their damage by 40% and gives them 40 bonus armor and 40 bonus magic resistance.
  • They deal 20% reduced damage to the nexus.

Strategy

  • Super minions easily push unprotected lanes and destroy enemy turrets.
