A '''turret''', also called a '''tower''', is a heavy fortification that blocks the enemy's minion waves and champions' path to the [[nexus]]. Turrets are one of the core components of League of Legends. They deal damage to enemies and provide vision and general control of the battlefield to their team. Champions must destroy enemy turrets to push their assault into the enemies' territory. Turrets deal heavy damage to enemy units, but they only target one unit at a time. Turrets visually fall apart as they take damage.

* {{sbc|{{tip|Turret Plating}}}}: Outer turrets have large stone shields called plates. Plates act as a sort of segment for the turret’s overall health. There are five plates, each with 1000 health, meaning that turrets have 5000 total health. When a champion destroys a plate he and any allies nearby get a gold reward, but the turret gets a bit of extra damage resistance, thus becoming slightly harder to destroy. Plates disappear at 14 minutes into the game and with them the extra damage resistance.

== Attack Prioritization ==
  
== Attack Prioritization ==
−
Turrets will continue to attack their current target until the target dies, leaves attack range, or becomes untargetable due to abilities or items.
  
   
  +
Turrets attack the first enemy unit that comes into their range and continue attacking until that unit dies, leaves attack range, or stops being targetable thanks to abilities or items. When the current target is lost for whatever reason, the turret selects a new target. If several targets are in range, the turret chooses its new target following this priority list:
⚫
A turret will prioritize an enemy champion if that champion deals damage to an allied champion who is within 1400 range of the turret. Damage dealt can come from any source (pet, aura, item, etc.) in order for a champion to be targeted. Additionally, turrets will target an enemy champion if no other valid target is within range. Turrets will ''not'' attack an enemy champion who uses a non-damaging spell (e.g. {{cai|Wall of Pain|Karthus}}). A spell or attack that is blocked (by a spell shield or ability effect) and deals no damage will still draw turret aggro.

# The closest {{ii|Zz'Rot Portal}}.

# The closest targetable Trap (e.g. {{ai|Jack in the Box|Shaco}}).

  ⚫
However, if an enemy champion deals damage to an allied champion who is within 1400 range of a turret, the turret switches targets to attack the enemy champion. The damage dealt by the enemy champion can come from any source (pet, aura, item, etc.). Turrets don't attack enemy champions who use non-damaging spells, like {{cai|Wall of Pain|Karthus}}. They will however attack them if the spell or attack is blocked (by a spell shield or ability effect) or if the attack triggers [[Combat status|combat effects]].

==Damaging Turrets==
  +
Turrets are invulnerable to most champion abilities. Exceptions include as {{ai|Explosive Charge|Tristana}} or {{ai|Satchel Charge|Ziggs}}. [[basic attack|Basic attacks]] apply their non-health based damage modifiers unless otherwise stated, but don't apply critical strikes.
⚫
* Turrets can create a choke point for traps such as {{cai|Yordle Snap Trap|Caitlyn}}, especially in the smaller area closer to the wall, as minions will not normally walk through that area of the lane.
  
⚫
* On Summoner's Rift, melee minions usually die to two turret attacks and one champion auto attack, and ranged minions usually die to one turret attack and two champion auto attacks.
  
⚫
* Destroying the 5 stacks of {{tip|Turret Plating}} will grant a total of {{g|800}} (160{{times}}5).

=== Damaging Turrets ===
  
−
Turrets can only be damaged by [[basic attack]]s, with basic attack modifiers (excluding critical strikes) fully applied unless otherwise stated. There can be special circumstances of ability damage towards turrets, such as {{ai|Explosive Charge|Tristana}} or {{ai|Satchel Charge|Ziggs}}.
  
   
−
Damage to a turret is based on {{sti|ad|'''base''' attack damage}} plus the higher of bonus attack damage or 60% of {{sti|ability power}}. When your attacks trigger Ability Power damage conversion (occurs when attacking a turret while your AP is more than double your bonus AD), the whole attack converts to magic damage instead of physical. Turrets are vulnerable to {{sti|armor penetration}} and {{sti|magic penetration}}.

Revision as of 22:15, 12 September 2019

Turrets, also called towers, are heavy fortifications that block the advance of enemy minions and champions. Turrets are one core component of League of Legends. They deal damage to enemies and provide vision and general control of the battlefield to their team. Champions must destroy enemy turrets to push their assault into enemy territory. Turrets target one unit at a time and deal heavy damage.

There are 11 turrets per team on Summoner's Rift icon Summoner's Rift, 7 on Twisted Treeline icon Twisted Treeline, and 4 on Howling Abyss icon Howling Abyss.

General Information

Tower
The following information is for Summoner's Rift turrets.

Turrets have 1095 sight range, 775 attack range and deal Attack damage icon physical damage. They grant their team True Sight icon true sight, allowing it to see all traps and stealth units within their vision range.

There are four kind of turrets depending on their location:

  • Outer towers: Located in front of the inner towers.
  • Inner towers: Located in front of the inhibitor towers.
  • Inhibitor towers: Located in front of each inhibitor, guarding the entrances to the base.
  • Nexus towers: Located in front of the nexus, there are two of them.

Towers can only be targeted and damaged if they are the first structure standing in their lane. Turrets located behind the first standing structure are invulnerable and untargetable until the first one is destroyed. Inner towers only become vulnerable when their outer tower is destroyed, and inhibitor towers only become vulnerable when their inner tower is destroyed. Nexus turrets are invulnerable and untargetable until at least one inhibitor is destroyed. If a turret is destroyed while one of its shots is in mid-flight, that shot will not deal damage. Turret shots travel at a speed of 1200.

Aura effects do not affect turrets.

Turrets count as terrain, even after they are destroyed. Any abilities that interact with terrain, such as Vayne's Vayne's Condemn Condemn or Poppy's Poppy's Heroic Charge Heroic Charge, can be used on them.

Turrets deal modified damage to minions.

Turrets fall apart as they take damage.

Turret Rewards

  • Destroying a turret grants global gold and local gold.
    • Global gold is given to all champions in the team that destroyed the turret.
    • Local gold is shared with all nearby champions when the turret is destroyed.
  • The first turret killed yields 150 bonus gold Gold 150 bonus gold split between nearby champions.
  • Champions within 2500 range who assisted in a turret takedown count toward turret gold distribution, including first turret bonus.

Plates act as a sort of segment for the turret’s overall health. There are five plates, each with 1000 health, meaning that turrets have 5000 total health. When a champion destroys a plate he and any allies nearby get a gold reward, but the turret gets a bit of extra damage resistance, thus becoming slightly harder to destroy. Plates disappear at 14 minutes into the game and with them the extra damage resistance.
    • Passive: Grants Error: Parameter '3' is not accepted. bonus armor and magic resistance.
    • Passive - Bulwark: When a turret has its health reduced to 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000 health, and 0 health, it gets a stack of Bulwark for 20 seconds. Each stack grants Error: Parameter '3' is not accepted. bonus armor and magic resistance, up to a maximum of Error: Parameter '3' is not accepted. at 4 stacks. The value changes dynamically based on the number of nearby enemy champions.

Turret Passives/Items

Turrets have a pseudo-inventory that can be viewed, with each pseudo-item explaining a specific turret mechanic.

[[File:Template:Tip data/Fortification|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Fortification]][[File:Template:Tip data/Fortification|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Fortification]][[File:Template:Tip data/Fortification|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Fortification]] [[:Template:Tip data/Fortification|Fortification]]
Fortification effect
  • Unique Passive - Fortification: 50% damage reduction from all sources, this effect expires after 5 minutes. (Reduction applies before armor.)
Penetrating Bullets Penetrating Bullets
  • +30% armor penetration.
  • Unique Passive - Dodge Piercing: Turret attacks cannot be dodged, except by spells where a champion becomes Untargetable icon untargetable.
  • Unique Passive - Warming Up: Turrets gain 40% damage each time they strike a champion, up to 120% bonus damage.
    • This effect doesn't reset when switching targets.
    • Resets 3 seconds after the last shot has hit a champion

[[File:Template:Tip data/Warden's eye|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Warden's eye]][[File:Template:Tip data/Warden's eye|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Warden's eye]][[File:Template:Tip data/Warden's eye|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Warden's eye]] [[:Template:Tip data/Warden's eye|Warden's Eye]]

  • Unique Passive - True Sight icon True Sight: Can see invisible units within 1000 units.

Attack Prioritization

Turrets attack the first enemy unit that comes into their range and continue attacking until that unit dies, leaves attack range, or stops being targetable thanks to abilities or items. When the current target is lost for whatever reason, the turret selects a new target. If several targets are in range, the turret chooses its new target following this priority list:

  1. The closest Zz'Rot Portal Zz'Rot Portal.
  2. The closest targetable Trap (e.g. Jack in the Box Jack in the Box).
  3. The closest enemy Pet (e.g. Tibbers Tibbers).
  4. An effectively random enemy siege minion or super minion.
  5. An effectively random enemy melee minion.
  6. An effectively random enemy caster minion.
  7. The closest enemy champion to the tower.

However, if an enemy champion deals damage to an allied champion who is within 1400 range of a turret, the turret switches targets to attack the enemy champion. The damage dealt by the enemy champion can come from any source (pet, aura, item, etc.). Turrets don't attack enemy champions who use non-damaging spells, like Karthus' Karthus' Wall of Pain Wall of Pain. They will however attack them if the spell or attack is blocked (by a spell shield or ability effect) or if the attack triggers combat effects.

Damaging Turrets

Turrets are invulnerable to most champion abilities. Exceptions include as Explosive Charge Explosive Charge or Satchel Charge Satchel Charge. Basic attacks apply their non-health based damage modifiers unless otherwise stated, but don't apply critical strikes.

Damage to a turret is based on Attack damage icon base attack damage plus the higher of bonus attack damage or 60% of Ability power icon ability power. When a champion with AP more than double his bonus AD attacks a tower he triggers Ability Power damage conversion. This means that all the damage of the attack is converted to magic damage (rather than physical). Turrets are vulnerable to Armor penetration icon armor penetration and Magic penetration icon magic penetration.

Draven's Draven's passive passive grants him 1 stack for last hitting a turret, which counts towards the 6 he needs for 2 bonus stacks.

Abilities that affect turrets

Last-hitting a turret does not grant bonuses to champions, unless they have a relevant effect:

Strategy

  • Turrets can be used to create a choke point for traps such as Caitlyn's Caitlyn's Yordle Snap Trap Yordle Snap Trap, especially in the smaller area closer to the wall, as minions will not normally walk through that area of the lane.
  • On Summoner's Rift, during the early game melee minions usually die to two turret attacks and one champion auto attack, and ranged minions usually die to one turret attack and two champion auto attacks. Knowing this is useful to last hit minions that are being attacked by a turret.
  • Destroying the five stacks of [[File:Template:Tip data/Turret plating|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Turret plating]][[File:Template:Tip data/Turret plating|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Turret plating]][[File:Template:Tip data/Turret plating|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Turret plating]] [[:Template:Tip data/Turret plating|Turret Plating]] grants a total of 800 Gold 800 (160 × 5).

Trivia

  • On Summoner's Rift, an outer turret that loses 4 [[File:Template:Tip data/Turret plating|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Turret plating]][[File:Template:Tip data/Turret plating|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Turret plating]][[File:Template:Tip data/Turret plating|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Turret plating]] [[:Template:Tip data/Turret plating|Turret Plating]] stacks in short period of time, with 5 champions nearby, will have 560 armor and magic resistance.
  • The icons for turrets' passives/items are reused from previous game assets.
    • Penetrating Bullets Penetrating Bullets uses the icon of Skull Crusher Skull Crusher, an alpha item with unknown effects.
    • [[File:Template:Tip data/Reinforced armor|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Reinforced armor]][[File:Template:Tip data/Reinforced armor|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Reinforced armor]][[File:Template:Tip data/Reinforced armor|20px|link=Template:Tip data/Reinforced armor]] [[:Template:Tip data/Reinforced armor|Reinforced Armor]] uses the icon of Netherrift Armor Netherrift Armor, an alpha item with unknown effects.
