What is Dragon Soul in League of Legends?

The Dragon Soul is a powerful, permanent buff awarded to a team that captures four elemental dragons during a single game in League of Legends. Once a team secures four dragons, they gain the soul associated with the current elemental dragon, granting unique benefits that can strongly influence the game's outcome. The specific Dragon Soul obtained depends on the third dragon’s element, which sets the elemental theme for the rest of the match.

Types of Dragon Souls

Chemtech Dragon Soul

Effect: When a champion’s health falls below 50%, they gain 11% increased damage and damage reduction. This makes champions more resilient and effective in fights as they get low on health.

Cloud Dragon Soul

Effect: Provides a 20% bonus movement speed, increasing to 60% for 6 seconds after casting an ultimate ability, with a 30-second cooldown. The added speed is especially beneficial for champions who rely on swift movement during battles.

Hextech Dragon Soul

Effect: Basic attacks or abilities strike enemies with electricity, dealing 25-50 bonus true damage (based on champion level) and applying a slow effect that lasts 2 seconds. This damage can chain to 3 nearby enemies, making it potent in team fights, with an 8-second cooldown.

Infernal Dragon Soul

Effect: Damaging basic attacks and abilities trigger an explosion around the target, dealing adaptive damage to them and nearby enemies. The explosion damage scales with bonus AD, AP, and bonus health, and can only occur every 3 seconds. This soul is highly effective for champions who thrive in team fights.

Mountain Dragon Soul

Effect: Grants champions a shield after not taking damage for 5 seconds. The shield scales with bonus AD, AP, and bonus health, providing additional protection in fights.

Ocean Dragon Soul

Effect: Damaging an enemy heals the champion and restores mana over 4 seconds. The healing is less effective when damaging minions or monsters, but this soul offers powerful sustain during team fights.

Dragon Soul's Strategic Impact

Dragon Souls add an extra layer of strategy, making dragon control crucial in determining the game’s outcome. Teams fight to secure Dragon Souls, which can turn the tide of a match by providing team-wide, permanent buffs that suit different playstyles. For instance, the Mountain Dragon Soul benefits tankier compositions, while the Infernal Dragon Soul suits burst-damage champions.
