Baron Nashor does not inherently do more damage from the back, but people standing behind Baron and outside the pit are hit by an AOE spike attack that deals physical damage to all targets hit and stuns them for 1 second. The Baron‘s attack patterns and abilities make it a formidable opponent, but its damage output is not specifically increased when attacked from behind, contrary to the common misconception that Baron does not like being hit in the back.
