Timers from the official League of Legends wiki and Riot's patch 26.1 notes (camps, minions, Baron), checked 2026-10-24 for patch 26.21. The Rift Herald's 19:45 exit is from Nerfplz's 2026 objective guide — the wiki's infobox still shows the 2025 value from before Baron moved back to 20:00. Game clock times; a camp or objective that dies just before a spawn tick can come back a second or two later.
The first 20 minutes, at a glance
| Objective | First spawn | Respawn | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elemental drake | 5:00 | 5:00 | The next drake spawns 5:00 after the last one dies; the team that takes four gets its Dragon Soul. |
| Voidgrubs | 8:00 | once per game | Three grubs, once per game, in the top-side pit — gone at 14:45 if nobody takes them. |
| Rift Herald | 15:00 | once per game | Once per game, in the Baron pit — gone at 19:45 if untouched, so Baron can take the pit at 20:00. |
| Baron Nashor | 20:00 | 6:00 | First at 20:00 since patch 26.1 (it was 25:00 in 2025), then 6:00 after every kill. Hand of Baron: 180 seconds. |
| Elder Dragon | after a team’s 4th drake | 6:00 | Takes over the drake pit once a team has four drakes: 6:00 after that kill and after every Elder kill. Aspect of the Dragon: 150 seconds. |
| Blue Sentinel | 0:55 | 5:00 | Buff camp |
| Red Brambleback | 0:55 | 5:00 | Buff camp |
| Murk Wolves | 0:55 | 2:15 | Small camp |
| Raptors | 0:55 | 2:15 | Small camp |
| Gromp | 1:07 | 2:15 | Small camp |
| Krugs | 1:07 | 2:15 | Small camp |
| Rift Scuttler | 2:55 | 2:30 | River camp |
Why timers win games
Every objective is a countdown both teams can see coming. The team that knows the drake is up at 15:10 shoves its bot wave at 14:30, walks in with vision and Smite ready; the team that doesn't arrives late and fights on the wrong side of a wall. Junglers time camps the same way — a Blue Sentinel killed at 1:30 is back at 6:30, so the enemy jungler's route is predictable for the whole early game. Track the big ones out loud: "drake 15:10", "Baron 28:20". The objective timers guide covers what each objective gives and when to trade one for another.

Common questions
When does Baron spawn in LoL?
At 20:00 — patch 26.1 moved it back from 25:00 — and 6:00 after every kill. Hand of Baron lasts three minutes.
When do dragons spawn and respawn?
The first elemental drake spawns at 5:00 and the next one 5:00 after each kill. Once a team has four drakes it takes its Dragon Soul, and the Elder Dragon takes over the pit: 6:00 after that kill and 6:00 after each Elder kill.
When do Voidgrubs and the Rift Herald spawn?
Three Voidgrubs at 8:00, once per game, gone at 14:45 if untouched; the Rift Herald at 15:00, once, in the Baron pit — it leaves at 19:45 so Baron can spawn at 20:00.
What are the jungle camp timers in 2026?
Patch 26.1 moved the first spawns earlier: Blue, Red, Wolves and Raptors at 0:55, Gromp and Krugs at 1:07, the Scuttlers at 2:55. Buff camps respawn 5:00 after the kill, the small camps 2:15 and the Scuttlers 2:30.
