Notes Edit

• The aura applies to pets, but not clones (e.g. Mordekaiser's  Children of the Grave).
  • This is one of the 4 auras that can be used to improve champion pets, along with those of Aegis of the Legion, Runic Bulwark, and the Captain boot enchantment.
• Contrary to the in-game description, Banner of Command does not increase a minion's total damage. Instead, it increases their attack damage or ability power stats. As such, Banner Of Command only increases the damage dealt by the minion's basic attacks and has no effect on other damaging effects the pet has (such as Tibber's aura).
  • In game description: "Nearby allies gain 10 health regen per 5 seconds and nearby allied minions deal 15% increased damage."

• Gains a bonus +6.75% AD / +9% AD / +11.25% AD of target's attack damage.

Annie's  Tibbers and Shaco's  Boxes

• Tibbers and Boxes deal damage based on an unseen statistic, and do not gain increased damage from Banner of Command.

As the aura is a percentile modifier, the more AP/AD you have: the more AD/AP your minions gain and the better value Banner of Command becomes.
