Skarner Matchups

About Skarner

Skarner is a pick-oriented fighter-tank who creates pressure through direct target access, movement speed, and an ultimate that removes one champion from a fight by force. He is most dangerous when he can choose the moment and angle of contact, but he becomes much easier to manage when his approach is obvious or when he drags the wrong target into the wrong space.

Skarner Mechanics & Gameplay Tips

Strong Skarner players use their speed and pathing to arrive from angles that make Fracture and follow-up contact unavoidable, then reserve Impale for the target whose displacement actually wins the fight. Weak Skarner play runs straight through vision, grabs the nearest body instead of the important one, or pulls a target so deep that the team cannot safely capitalize.
