With 156 champions in the game, it can be difficult to remember every single ultimate, so this guide compiles the need-to-know information about them all into one resource.
With the release of Akshan, League of Legends officially has 156 champions, each of which has their own passive and set of abilities. Amongst these, the most pivotal part of any champion’s identity is often their ultimate; it is with their ultimates that champions are able to influence the game and give their team the highest possible chance of winning. While it might be nigh impossible to remember the exact details of every single champion’s passive and set of abilities, it is useful to know each champion’s ultimate so that you can play around it effectively as both their ally and their enemy.
In this guide, you will find a short summary of each champion’s ultimate ability, and you can search through it as necessary to find out whatever you need to know when you need to know it.

After three seconds, the target takes a burst of physical damage, increasing with the amount of damage they took while marked.
Ziggs throws a projectile at a target location which grants sight of its destination and deals magic damage upon arriving. This magic damage is amplified against targets who are in the center of the target area.
Zilean makes it so that if an allied champion would take fatal damage in the next five seconds, they instead enter stasis. After three seconds in stasis, they are healed immensely.
Zoe blinks a fixed distance for approximately a second and then blinks back. She cannot move after the first blink.
Zyra targets a circular area which deals magic damage to enemies as it forms and, once fully formed, knocks up all enemies in the area. Zyra’s plants within this area become empowered when being hit by this ability.
From these descriptions, it should be apparent that although every champion in League has a unique ultimate that synergizes with their set of abilities, these ultimates can be summarized into something that is easy to remember for when you next see them on Summoner’s Rift. If there is one key takeaway from this, it should be that while League of Legends can seem like it takes a lot to learn at first, everything is a lot simpler than it might seem. With this in mind, you’ll be able to learn everything about the game in no time, hopefully improving your chances of winning games and having fun!
