Super minion
- For general information, see Minion (League of Legends).
melee attacker. The most powerful minion.
60 – 90 (based on upgrades)Super minions are powerful minions with melee range. 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 will spawn in that lane.
On Summoner's Rift, when all three inhibitors are destroyed, a second Super minion will spawn in each lane.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Super minions upgrade every 90 seconds increasing their health, health regen, attack damage, and gold reward.
- They spawn at the front of minion waves.
- Super minions will stop spawning two waves before the enemy inhibitor is going to respawn to prevent the inhibitor from instantly being destroyed again because of Super minions.
- Super minions can be seen through the Fog of War.
Stats[edit | edit source]
- Super Minions have the cosmetic items
Super Mech Armor and 
Super Mech Power Field:
- Unique:
Turret basic attacks are modified to deal 7% of this minion's maximum health as pre-mitigation damage. - Unique: Grants nearby minions (excluding super minions) 35 armor and 35 magic resistance.
- Unique:
- Super minions deal 55% damage against turrets and
champions. - Super minions deal 12.5% damage against other structures (inhibitors and nexuses).
Strategy[edit | edit source]
- Super minions easily push unprotected lanes and destroy enemy turrets. They have much higher stats than any other Minion, being so strong they can sometimes go toe to toe with weaker champions. They are the reason why inhibitors are a high priority objective.
Map Differences[edit | edit source]
- On Howling Abyss, Super Minions grant 45 (+ 0.35 / 90s).
- On Howling Abyss, Super Minions grant nearby allies 20% bonus movement speed boost while they are out-of-combat.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- In League of Legends: Turret Defence, their old
Purple Team variants featured as wave enemies. - Its animations were reused for the walking Nexus in
Nexus Blitz. - Super Minions had different names during development:
- Beta 3 and Summoner's Rift Update caster minions are referred to Mech Minion in game files.
- There were Anti-turret cannon and Ranged Mech Minion which were unused for Summoner's Rift but some appeared in Crystal Scar.
- Beta 3 and Summoner's Rift Update caster minions are referred to Mech Minion in game files.
- Visually, Blue Super Minion's pilots use two control sticks similar to analog sticks on Siege Minions to control their mech while Red Super Minion's pilots control their mech with a red crystal sphere, suggesting that magic is used.

MeleeMelee champions have a basic attack 
range usually within 200 units. A melee attack does not use a projectile to deal damage, therefore not subject to effects that mitigate projectiles, like 
Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.
TurretA turret, also called a tower, is a fortification that defends a part of territory. It provides vision of the area and autonomously fires homing bolts at nearby enemies, establishing a defensive ground for allies.
Turrets are most notable in 
Classic, defending against waves of enemy 
Minions from their ultimate goal of destroying the nexus. Champions work to destroy enemy turrets to push their assault into the enemies' territory. Turrets visually fall apart as they take damage.
