Dragon Slayer

For information about the skin set, see Dragonslayer.

This article contains information on the various buffs sourced from dragons (drakes) in Summoner's Rift.

There are currently three types of buffs that can be obtained via dragons, and in this order each game: the stacking Dragon Slayer, the Dragon Soul which is awarded to the first team that earns the fourth Dragon Slayer stack, and Aspect of the Dragon which is awarded to all teammates alive upon taking down the Elder Dragon after the Dragon Soul has been claimed. The rewards for Dragon Slayer and the Dragon Soul vary, depending on the type of drake slain.

Dragon Slayer

Dragon Soul

Aspect of the Dragon

Dragon Slayer is a team-wide stacking neutral buff granted by the Dragon.

Slaying a dragon will grant a buff based on the element of the dragon slain; that buff can stack up to four times for a given element, and a team can possess more than one type of buff. However, only three types of elemental drakes will spawn on the map, due to the first two drakes consisting of two elemental types and all drakes thereafter spawning as the elemental type dependent on the element that dominates the rift. This means that in a given game, only the buff granted by the rift-dominant element can be stacked. These buffs are permanent and are granted to the entire team of the player who killed the dragon.

Elemental Dragons hold an Ancient Grudge for enemies who have slain their kin; they gain 20% bonus damage and 7% damage reduction against champions per stack of Dragon Slayer they have, up to 80% bonus damage and 28% damage reduction at 4 stacks.

Edit

Hextech Prowess

Edit

Infernal Might

Gain 3 / 6 / 9 / 12% (based on stacks granted by Infernal Drake) attack damage and ability power.

Edit

Mountainous Vigor

Gain 5 / 10 / 15 / 20% (based on stacks granted by Mountain Drake) armor and magic resistance.

Edit

Oceanic Will

Restore 2 / 4 / 6 / 8% (based on stacks granted by Ocean Drake) of missing health every 5 seconds.

General notes[edit | edit source]

Infernal Might's ability power multiplier stacks stacks additively with other sources of % ability power.
- The Total attack damage multiplier stacks additively with other sources of % Total attack damage and stacks multiplicatively with sources of % Bonus attack damage.
Chemtech Blight is a Group A tenacity modifier.
Transforming champions activate Cloud Dragon Soul's bonus movement speed upon transforming if they do not have an ultimate ability.
- Note that Gnar has an active effect for his ultimate ability in his Mega Gnar form, therefore Cloud Dragon Soul will be granted as normal (instead of upon transforming).
On Udyr, Cloud Dragon Soul's bonus movement speed activates from an Awakened cast.
Hextech Dragon Soul, Infernal Dragon Soul, and Aspect of the Dragon's burn all deal default damage, and thus they will not trigger spell effects.
Against non-champions, Ocean Dragon Soul heals for 48 (+ 10.8% bonus AD) (+ 6.75% AP) (+ 2.7% bonus health) and restores 24 (+ 1.05% maximum mana) mana over 4 seconds.
Ocean Dragon Soul grants the restoration as such:
- The first instance restores 1/5th of the tooltip ("total") amount and always occurs within the next stat update only upon the buff's initial activation.
- For each second that the restoration buff is active, restores 1/5th of the tooltip ("total") restoration. If the user only activated it once and did not refresh it, there would be 4 instances.
- Refreshing the buff will continue to restore this amount at the same frequency which cannot change, up to 4 times at most (4/5ths of the tooltip/"total" restoration) from the moment that it has last been refreshed.
Ocean Dragon Soul's restoration buff activates upon damaging a valid target and refreshes upon attacking any valid target again. Due to the effects only being granted through a single refreshing buff, the restoration's effectiveness cannot change once the buff has activated, but only after the buff has expired and the user activates it again.^(bug) As a consequence:
- Activating the full-effectiveness buff's version by damaging a champion, then refreshing the duration by damaging a non-champion will extend it, resulting in more healing than expected.
- Activating the reduced-effectiveness buff's version by damaging a non-champion, then refreshing the duration by damaging a champion will extend it, resulting in more healing than expected.

The Dragon Soul is a powerful team-wide neutral buff granted by the Dragon.

The team that obtains 4 stacks of Dragon Slayer first will receive the soul of the element that dominates the rift. The Dragon Soul is a powerful buff that is granted permanently to all members of a team.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

Ultimate Spellbook released with a unique Ruined Dragon using Mordekaiser's dragon from Children of the Grave during the 2021 Sentinels of Light Event. It was then supplanted by Hextech Drake & Chemtech Drake in V11.23 during the RiotX Arcane event. It granted a dragon soul similar to Chemtech Drake.
Before patch V11.23, Cloudbringer's Grace's ultimate ability haste stacked additively with other sources of ultimate ability haste, and multiplicatively with regular ability haste.
- For Shyvana, Cloudbringer's Grace instead granted her 10 / 23.33 / 36.67 / 50% (based on stacks) increased Fury generation.
- For Udyr, Cloudbringer's Grace granted him 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 (based on stacks) haste on his global cooldown between stance swaps.
Until patch V9.23 each component of Dragon Slayer had a passive name and an alternate name, related to the drake:
- Cloud Drake's was Stratus Walk and Dragon's Flight.
- Infernal Drake's was Infernal Tribute and Dragon's Might.
- Ocean Drake's was Heart of Oceans and Dragon's Dominance.
- Mountain Drake's was Earthen Arms and Dragon's Wrath.
