Playing as Skarner

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Rip out your boulder before the fight

    Cast Shattered Earth (Q) before the fight: your next 3 autos gain attack speed, and the last one slows and deals bonus damage based on the target's max health.

  2. Gank through walls

    Gank with Ixtal's Impact (E) through walls: you drag the first champion you hit to the end of the charge, and if they hit a wall, they're stunned.

  3. Seismic Bastion in melee range

    Cast Seismic Bastion (W) as you get into melee range: you gain a shield, and the earthquake damages and slows nearby enemies.

  4. Drag their carry into your team

    Cast Impale (R) on their carry and drag them toward your team: you suppress up to 3 champions hit and drag them with you.

Playing against Evelynn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Back off as soon as she marks you

    Back off toward your tower as soon as Allure (W) marks you: if the mark lasts 2.5 seconds, her next hit charms you and lowers your magic resist.

  2. Place a Control Ward

    Once she hits level 6, place a Control Ward on her paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, like Evelynn in Demon Shade (passive).

  3. Save your CC for her arrival

    If you have CC, use it as soon as she comes out of camouflage on you: Last Caress (R) is her only way to become untargetable and get away.

  4. Play hard before she hits 6

    Play hard before she hits level 6: without the Demon Shade (passive) camouflage, your wards see her coming.
