Overview

The Rift Scuttler is a neutral monster found on the updated Summoner's Rift that wanders up and down both rivers. It is unique in that it does not attack but rather tries to run away. When killed, depending on which one is killed, will become a speed shine/ward in front of Dragon or Baron Nashor. Once both initial Rift Scuttlers are killed, only one Rift Scuttler can be on the map at any given time for the rest of the game. Respawn locations are randomly determined, but signaled ahead of time with a respawn marker.

After the Baron Nashor spawns at 20:00, all Rift Scuttlers become permanently corrupted by the Void, transforming into Voidborn with 30% increased health. Killing a Rift Scuttler in this form causes it to release an aura of void energy around itself over 1.5 seconds, granting sight of the surrounding area as it travels and revealing enemies in its path. Enemy champions are revealed for 3 seconds, while non-champions are revealed for 12 seconds. The reveal duration refreshes if they remain in the area where the energy is still spreading. Revealed wards have their health reduced to 1. Once the energy has spread out completely, it continues to grant sight of the area for another 3 seconds.

Strategy

  • The Rift Scuttler should be killed before taking Dragon as it gives a huge speed bonus that could be extremely useful in the event the enemy team attempts to contest.
  • It could also be killed by the jungler to provide vision for bot or top lane.

Patch History

Patch 14.1

Similarly, after 20 minutes once Rift Scuttler rises again after being slain, she will be Voidborn Scuttler. When slain, Voidborn Scuttler will send out a massive Scryer’s Bloom effect, revealing all champions and wards in a large surrounding area. Similar to Scryer’s, all wards revealed this way will be reduced to 1 HP.


Patch 13.20

Rift Scuttler is an important objective, which means it needs to have an appropriate amount of health for its value. Its rewards also need to align better with other jungle camps. Since other camps only scale in experience while Scuttler increases in both gold and XP, we've adjusted Scuttler's rewards to now scale more slowly.

  • Health: 1550-3202.5 (levels 1-18, linear scaling) ⇒ 1550-5580 (levels 1-18, non-linear scaling)
  • Gold Given: 55-99 (levels 1-9, linear scaling) ⇒ 55-126.5 (levels 1-18, non-linear scaling)
  • Experience Given: 20-180 (levels 1-9, linear scaling) ⇒ 20-230 (levels 1-18, non-linear scaling)


Patch 12.22

  • Spawn Time: 3:15 ⇒ 3:30
  • Health at Level 1: 1050 ⇒ 1550
  •  REMOVED  See Ya Shiel: Rift Scuttler no longer has a shield


Patch 11.23

The first Rift Scuttler spawn has been too impactful in deciding the outcome of the early game, so we're reducing its importance with lessened XP. Now that it's squishier (and tinier), you can defeat it more easily and scuttle back to safety sooner.

BABY BUG : The first Rift Scuttler will now have 35% reduced health, grants 80% reduced XP, and has been slightly reduced in size to match its lower value. (Note: The 80% reduced XP does not impact the bonus XP granted by the Huntsman passive on jungle starter items.)


Patch 11.10

Jungle Camp Health:

RIFT SCUTTLER : [1000-2066 (levels 1-17)] 1050-2170 (levels 1-17)


Patch 10.23

ARMOR : [60] 20
MAGIC RESIST : [60] 20
HEALTH : [1200-2560 (levels 1-17)] 1000-2066 (levels 1-17)
LOOSE CARAPACE Spawns with a 60% max health shield. Shield breaks when immobilized.
VULNERABLE UNDERBELLY Rift Scuttler no longer loses 50 Armor and Magic Resist or takes 25% increased damage after being immobilized
CRAB SOUP Killing Rift Scuttler no longer restores health and mana


Patch 9.23

With the increased importance on drakes on bot side, we're spawning Rift Herald a bit earlier and letting her respawn once so teams don't completely abandon their top laners in favor of bot lane presence. (Y'know...more than they already do.)

Rift Herald Fight

INITIAL SPAWN : [10:00] 8:00
RESPAWN 6:00
DESPAWN : 19:30, delayed to 19:50 if in combat (unchanged)

8,250-16,500 (levels 6-12)
ATTACK SPEED : [0.5] 0.4 (it's easier to poke Rift Herald's eye before she spins around)

Summoned Rift Herald

EYE OF THE HERALD PICK-UP WINDOW : [40] 20 seconds
EYE OF THE HERALD CHANNEL : [4] 1 second
HERALD LEVEL : Average level of all ten champions, determined on [using Eye of the Herald]

HEADBUTT SELF-DAMAGE : [25%] 66% current health


v8.11
Respawn time increased. Shrine duration increased.

The action around Scuttle Crab is making for a good mini-objective, but it's currently up too often, forcing too much of a jungler's attention onto its continuous respawn. To compensate for fewer overall Scuttle Crabs, we're pushing some experience back into the basic jungle camps (detailed just below).

RESPAWN TIME : [135] 150 seconds
SHRINE DURATION : [75] 90 seconds


v8.10
Two Rift scuttlers spawn at the start of the game, but after both die, only one spawns at a time for the remainder of the game. That Rift Scuttler is tankier early and worth significantly more experience.

Rift Scuttler isn’t the hotly contested objective we’d like it to be, so we’re looking to up the reward ya girl Scuttle gives to encourage more interaction between junglers—and teams—as the game progresses. Becoming the Scuttle slayer will now give junglers an experience edge over their opponents, not just a spot of vision.

HEALTH : [800-3920 (based on level)] 1200-2480 (based on level)
EXPERIENCE GRANTED : [10] 115-230 (at levels 1-9)
GOLD REWARD : [70] 70-140 (at levels 1-9)
INITIAL SPAWN TIME : [2:15] 2:00
TWO CRAB ENTER At initial spawn, Scuttlers will spawn in the top and bottom river. Both must be killed before the respawn timer activates.
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE : Once both initial Rift Scuttlers are killed, only one Rift Scuttler can be on the map at any given time for the rest of the game. Respawn locations are randomly determined, but signaled ahead of time with a respawn marker.
RESPAWN TIME : [180] 135 seconds
SHIELDS UP Scuttler's extra defenses now have a particle to indicate when she's protected and when the shield has been broken
MY CABBAGE Rift Scuttler's chance of trying to steal a honeyfruit is significantly decreased
