Baron Nashor is the most powerful neutral monster on Summoner’s Rift and appears at 20 minutes in the Baron Pit near the top side river. Defeating Baron grants the Hand of Baron buff to all surviving teammates for three minutes. This buff provides bonus AD (attack damage), bonus AP (ability power), an empowered recall, and an aura that significantly strengthens nearby minions.
Because the buff enhances minion durability and damage, teams often use Baron to Push waves, siege turrets, and gain control of key areas on the map. Securing Baron can shift the momentum of a match, enabling a losing team to stall or a winning team to accelerate their lead. Contesting Baron frequently leads to high pressure teamfights, since a single successful take can decide the outcome of the game.
Baron is one of the most impactful objectives in League of Legends, and controlling vision around its pit is essential for preventing steals, avoiding ambushes, and setting up a safe attempt.
