All
Follow up immediately when Skarner lands his R — it suppresses up to three of the closest enemy champions for 1.5 seconds and drags them toward him, leaving them revealed and out of position for your team to punish.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Clear vision in your lane bushes and jungle entrances when a jungle Skarner is nearby — his E lets him charge through terrain and grab targets from unwarded angles, so denying vision sets up his ganks.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Look to fight near walls during Skarner's ganks and skirmishes — if his E charge slams a grabbed target into terrain, they're stunned for 1.5 seconds and his E cooldown is cut by 35%, giving you a bigger follow-up window.
Skirmish
Prioritize enemies Skarner has already hit with attacks or abilities — his passive stacks Quaking up to three times, and fully stacked targets take magic damage over time on top of whatever else your team deals.
Team Fight Skirmish
Time your skillshots and engage abilities for right after Skarner's Q boulder lands — the final hit slows everyone around the target by 40% for a short time, making it much easier to land follow-up crowd control during his ganks.
Skirmish Lane Phase
Skarner's W shields him and slows all nearby enemies at the same time — look to engage together right after he uses it, since the slow gives your team a brief window to close the gap in skirmishes.
Skirmish
Save movement speed buffs for Skarner while he's dragging a suppressed enemy with his R — he already gains bonus speed from a successful impale, and stacking more on top lets him pull the target even further from safety.
