Gameplay

Skarner is played as an out-and-out tank, whose job it is to close down the enemy carry. 

  • Level 1 - Take Q - Crystal Slash, to farm jungle camps.
  • Level 2 - Take E - Fracture, so that you can begin to look for ganks early on.
  • First Back - Rushing boots will offer increased cooldown, allowing you to farm more quickly.

Tips & Tricks

  • Kalista's ult will cancel Impale if Skarner uses it on the enemy support.
  • Focus on controlling the Crystal Spires, so that you can move around and gank more quickly.
  • Use Fracture to slow your enemy, before dealing damage. Chaining it with your Impale can lock down an enemy for quite some time.
  • Crystal Slash can be used to reset your auto-attacks, for increased damage over the course of a trade.
