The Rift Herald is a powerful neutral monster found in the game League of Legends. It resides in the Rift Herald pit located in the top side of the map. When defeated, it drops a special item called the Rift Herald Eye, which can be used to summon the Herald to assist in pushing down enemy towers. When summoned, the Rift Herald charges at enemy structures, dealing significant damage. It can be particularly useful for gaining an advantage in the early game, as it helps teams secure objectives and create opportunities for map control. Players often strategize around securing the Herald to enhance their chances of winning.
