Rammus accelerates in a ball towards his enemies, dealing damage and slowing targets affected by the impact.
Rammus goes into a defensive formation, vastly increasing his Armor and Magic Resist, while returning damage to attacks.
Rammus taunts an enemy champion or monster into a reckless assault against Rammus' hard shell, reducing Armor temporarily.

Champion Tips
Riot officialPlaying as
- Powerball can be used as an effective escape mechanism.
- Using taunt on a champion by your tower can cause the tower to attack your enemy.
- Tremors and Defensive Ball Curl can be used late in the game to obliterate towers. If you're bogged down in a team fight, it is often valuable to break off and attack the buildings.
Playing against
- Pay particular attention to when his Defensive Ball Curl is off. Rammus has slightly lower stats than a normal tank when he's out of the stance.
- Rammus often stacks high armor, leaving him especially vulnerable to caster damage while not in Defensive Ball Curl.
