Skarner’s Rework

This patch marks the arrival of Skarner’s long-awaited rework. Get ready for a more mobile and aggressive crystal scorpion with a completely overhauled kit:

  • Passive – Threads of Vibration: Skarner’s attacks and abilities mark enemies with “Quaking.” Hitting them three times deals bonus damage based on their max health.
  • Q – Shattered Earth/Upheaval: Skarner pulls a rock from the ground, empowering his next three attacks for increased speed and damage. The third hit deals significant damage and slows the enemy. Alternatively, he can throw the rock to slow and damage the first enemy hit.
  • W – Seismic Bastion: Grants Skarner a shield and emits a shockwave that damages and slows nearby enemies.
  • E – Ixtal’s Impact: Skarner charges, ignoring walls, and grabs the first large enemy or champion he collides with. He can then drag them a short distance, dealing damage and stunning them if they hit a wall.
  • R – Impale: Skarner grabs up to three enemies, dealing damage and rooting them in place. He gains bonus movement speed for a short duration and can drag them along during this time.
