Learn how to play with Skarner with these essential tips.

All
When Skarner reaches level 6, be ready to follow up when he uses his R (Impale) to suppress and drag enemies. Since he can impale up to 3 champions at once, coordinate your damage and CC for maximum impact.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Position near walls when Skarner uses his E (Ixtal's Impact) to charge at enemies. If he slams them into terrain, they'll be stunned for 1.5 seconds, creating a perfect opportunity for follow-up damage.
Skirmish Team Fight
Place control wards in key areas and clear enemy vision to enable Skarner's surprise engages. His E allows him to charge through terrain, making him deadly when approaching from unwarded areas.
Lane Phase Team Fight
Save your crowd control abilities for after Skarner's suppression ends to extend the lockdown duration. His R (Impale) lasts 1.5 seconds, making it perfect for setting up extended CC chains.
Team Fight Skirmish
Prioritize being available for objective fights when playing with Skarner. His passive applies stacks that deal percentage health damage, making him effective at securing dragons and barons when teammates provide support.
Basic Team Fight
Despite being weaker in late game, Skarner can still be effective with proper flanking. Help him by staying off to the side during team setups, allowing him to approach from unwarded angles rather than head-on.
Advanced Late Game Team Fight
Apply slows to enemy champions to help Skarner land his E (Ixtal's Impact). While he has slow immunity during the charge, pre-slowed targets are easier for him to catch and drag into walls.
Skirmish Team Fight
Pay attention when Skarner uses his Q (Shattered Earth). The boulder throw slows enemies by 40%, and if he casts R during Q, he'll automatically throw the boulder in the same direction, creating combo opportunities.
Skirmish Lane Phase
Focus the same targets as Skarner to capitalize on his Quaking passive. At 3 stacks, enemies take magic damage over time equal to 5-9% of their maximum health, making them easier to finish off.
Advanced Team Fight Skirmish
Avoid splitting up too much in the late game when playing with Skarner. The enemy team can exploit this by forcing fights when you're away, as Skarner struggles against well-coordinated teams that protect their carries.
