Summary

A Summoner is a term commonly used to describe a person in the League of Legends universe who primarily uses summoning magic for battle. In modern times, summoners are types of magic or non-magic users that summon minions, monsters, or structures to aid them in battle. Summoners formerly played a major role in the League of Legends universe, with all major political decisions in Valoran being decided by the outcome of the contests that take place on the Fields of Justice.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Summoning: One of the main aspects of a Summoner’s power is the ability to summon superhuman beings to aid them in battle, or to bring forth a champion to fight as their avatar in the Fields of Justice. Most summonings are done by magical means by the use of mana, or by the use of powerful artifacts.
  • Melee Minions: A basic summon, these minions are controlled by a simple Artificial Intelligence, and use melee attacks against their enemies.
  • Caster Minions: A basic summon, these minions are controlled by a simple Artificial Intelligence, and use a ranged bolt of magic against their enemies.
  • Siege Minions: A basic summon, these minions are controlled by Artificial Intelligence, and use a ranged attack against their enemies. However, their range is lower than that of caster minions, but they are stronger and more durable than regular minions.
  • Super Minions: A basic summon, these minions are controlled by Artificial Intelligence, and use a melee attack against their enemies. They are the strongest type of minion, as their health, resistances, and damage are far superior to regular minions. They also grant nearby minions a buff that increases their damage by 40% and gives them bonus armor and magic resistance.
  • Turret: A turret, also called a tower, is a heavy fortification that fires powerful blasts of magic. On the Rift Turrets are used as a defense mechanism against enemy minion waves and champions' path to the nexus. Turrets deal heavy damage to enemy units.
    • Fortification: 50% damage reduction from all sources, this effect expires after 5 minutes.
    • Lightning Rod: 75% armor penetration. Deals damage in a continuous beam and cannot be dodged. With every hit, the beam gains 6 heat until 120 heat is reached. When the beam switches targets, heat is reset.
    • Penetrating Bullets: 30% armor penetration. Turret attacks can not be dodged, except by spells where an enemy becomes untargetable. Turrets gain 40% damage each time they strike a target.
    • Reinforced Armor: Gains 66.66% Damage Reduction (includes True Damage Reduction) when no enemy minions are in range for attack.
    • Warden's Eye: Can see invisible units.
  • Constructs: Some Summoners, such as the Senior Arcane Architect for the Summoner’s Rift arena, are able to create artificial constructs using very little resources, such as when he created a weaker copy of the Baron Nashor from a single scale and a description of the monster.
• Containment Spell: A spell designed to restrict the movement of the target. This spell is strong enough to restrain the likes of Alistar, Nocturne, Cho’Gath, and Brand.
• Power Equalization: To ensure a fair fight, Summoners have the ability to limit the power one can use in combat, to the point where beings like Anivia and Blitzcrank become equal in power. This can be done against unwilling parties, such as Brand, Cho'Gath, and Nocturne, however, exceedingly strong beings like Jax can resist this effect.
• Barrier: Creates a shield that blocks incoming damage for 2 seconds.
• Clarity: Restores 50% maximum mana to the caster and 25% maximum mana to nearby allies.
• Cleanse: Removes all disables (excluding Suppression) and summoner spells debuffs and grants 65% crowd control reduction for 3 seconds.
• Exhaust: Slows the target and cripples them by 30%, reducing their armor and magic resistance by 10, and their damage dealt by 40% for 2.5 seconds.
• Flash: Teleports a short distance.
• Ghost: Increases movement speed and causes the user to ignore unit collision.
• Heal: Heals the caster and the nearest target, also increasing both targets' movement speed by 30% for 1 second.
• Ignite: Ignites an enemy, dealing true damage over 5 seconds, applying Grievous Wounds and revealing them for the duration. The sight will not reveal invisible enemies.
• Mark: Throws a snowball a long distance, dealing true damage to the first enemy unit hit. If Mark hits an enemy, the caster gains the ability to cast Dash for the next 3 seconds. Mark will grant vision of brush while passing through, and will grant true sight of a hit target. The true sight is granted by the Mark buff, so it is lost when Dash is used. The snowball will bypass barriers, forcefields, and anti-magic barriers.
  • Dash: The caster surges into the target struck by Mark, dealing true damage to the target. Dashing to the target will reduce Mark's cooldown by 25%.
• Smite: Deals true damage to a monster or enemy minion.
  • Challenging Smite: Challenging Smite can be cast on enemies, revealing them for 4 seconds, reducing their damage by 20% and making them take true damage over 3 seconds from basic attacks for the duration.
  • Chilling Smite: Chilling Smite can be cast on enemies, dealing true damage and stealing 20% of their movement speed for 2 seconds.
• Teleport: After channeling for 4.5 seconds, teleports the caster to a target turret, minion or ward.
• Clairvoyance: Reveals a small area of the map for your team for 5 seconds.
• Fortify: Grants invulnerability to all allied turrets and causes them to attack 100% faster for 7 seconds.
