Threat Hero Notes
1
   No Threat
2
 Vox Vox just can't battle Baron, he has too little damage when compared to what Baron can provide.
3
 Baron Watch for Crystal Baron, but he can be outplayed if you watch your back.
3
 Fortress Fortress has good chase and burst damage, but once you leap he will be ineffective and his ultimate can be ignored.
3
 Krul Krul has good life drain but you can negate this using your jump to avoid entering the range of many auto attacks.
4
 Adagio Adagio contains a good stun and a consistent source of team support, but easy to dodge.
4
 Lyra Lyra has good movement of allies but by herself poses no real threat to Baron, be wary of crashing into her bulwark.
4
 Petal Petal has good damage, but your attacks can explode all of her munions and can be destroyed using good tactics.
4
 Samuel Samuel is at an unfortunate disadvantage when battling Baron. By escaping his Malice, you can land 3 attacks before Verdict.
4
 SAW Saw can be avoided by simply using Mortars to keep him out of your auto attack range.
5
 Ardan Can trap Baron and has good team support, but can bring teammates into rocket shots and has effect no if you max Jump Jets to escape his gauntlet.
5
 Flicker Flicker is dangerous if your team can't establish vision, but will have little ability to hold you.
5
 Ozo Ozo has good chase and damage but can be easily dodged and attacked. If he uses his ultimate, do your best to rocket leap away.
5
 Reim Reim has expert area damage, but like most heroes, Baron can effectively avoid him.
5
 Rona Rona has high damage but can be avoided and destroyed, if you keep your distance.
5
 Skaarf Skaarf will be difficult to poke, but you can still win if you get in close without becoming trapped in his goop.
6
 Celeste Celeste has effective stun and damage, but if you can get close to her she will lose.
6
 Joule Joule has a remarkable heroic perk that makes it hard to increase damage, if given the chance attack from behind. When against a crystal joule, jump out of or across her ult and unload many attacks.
7
 Gwen Gwen has consistent high damage and can stun you, but in general your damage should be higher. If you are behind avoid any open fights,
7
 Kestrel Kestrel can be tricky but by dodging 1 or 2 glimmershots you can win, avoid being surprised by one and never enter her mist.
7
 Lance Lance is the best counter for Baron, able to easily shut down Baron's skills. If necessary dive past lance to land your attacks.
7
 Phinn Phinn is a dangerous counter able to take Baron out of his comfort zone. If necessary, overdrive your jump jets to escape his ultimate.
7
 Taka Taka has the best burst in the game, but if you survive the first few seconds you can establish life steal and win.
8
 Alpha No real burst, but has sustained chase ability. If she locks on you may be trapped in a defeat, initiate retreat, but if you can get the positioning, one jump and you can turn it around.
8
 Catherine Catherine has a good source of utility and negative effects, can stop Baron from moving and can reflect damage.
8
 Idris Idris has high mobility and can follow Baron's jumps. However he can be avoided safely and can be dodged.
8
 Skye Skye can be the best hero to stay close to Baron, but her movement can be predictable if she is using forward barrage.
9
 Blackfeather Blackfeather has serious chase ability and quick damage, avoid unless it is necessary to confront. In contrast laning against him can give you some early damage from your explosions.
9
 Glaive Glaive can bypass all team setups and defenses, so save your jump until he dives at you, afterward you will have sufficient ability to avoid him.
9
 Ringo Ringo will often beat Baron in a one versus one, but will fall prey to his ability to attack multiple targets. If against a Crystal Ringo, consider overdriving your jump jets to avoid the fire from Hellfire Brew.
10
 Koshka Koshka is likely the largest threat to Baron's success. She can easily dodge Mortars, and stick to a fleeing Baron. Avoid confronting in almost all cases.

Early Game Top

Using your items focus on last hitting and do your best not to push lane. Rotate when necessary, but push lane before you leave. Use your Porcupine Mortars sparingly until you acquire a battery. If against a melee laner, use shells even less and focus on using your attacks to harm them when they attempt to farm. Avoid going home and don't shop until the fourth minute.

Never get too close to the enemies brush!

Golden Age of Baron Top

In the times between 8 and 15 minutes, you will find yourself to be doing more damage then ever. Constantly maintain high minion kills and constantly shop to get and edge against the enemy laner. You must keep your turret and ensure that you build the proper defense.

Do Not die and fall behind in lane!

The End Game Top

At this point you should rarely use your mortar shells outside of combat and you should be able to provide large area damage. The damage of your Mortars and your ultimate are now in consequential, use your Jump Jets to get increased attack speed and remain alive.
