Skarner Build Guide by ninjabrain

oh also i get boots right after philosopher's because i want to have lots of movement right when i get my ult, this build is also i bit to tanky he is really fun when you have a poop ton of ap and a bit of tankyness.

finally a lane skarner. i have searched for one for ages. gonna give this a try in trollteam haha :3

Great build and a VERY great guide. Clear and concise, with good emphasis using colors. Your guide was actually the reason I bought and started playing Skarner, because it gave an alternative to jungling (which I hate because you get blamed for everything that goes wrong). I play a variant of your offtank build and generally melt face. Thank you!

Good guide. However i disagree in the fact that you dont use shurelias (think i spelled that right) due to the fact it brings so much utility and easy ultimates for you. +1 though.

+1 An excellent build, covers everything that needs to be covered. Builds are very nice & the guide is nice & clear. Take my upvote, mate!
~Maybe you could check out my Lee Sin guide or upvote it? Thanks!

Love it, made playing with Skarner awesome!

Ok going to say my opinion on this.
Going for straight HP on Skarner is not ideal IMO since you want your W shield to last as much as possible so it is better to buy resistances.
You are not really explaining Skarner's role in team fights, how he should initiate, wether shall he target the enemy ad carry or protect his.
139 MR is not that much and even with that Warmog's Armor, Madred's Bloodrazor will shut you down.
Getting Rod of Ages as your last item (especially when you have such an expensive item as Trinity Force in your build) is an extremely bad choice, it will not have enough time to stack up.
Getting Boots of Speed before Sheen is way better because a smart solo top laner will know that Skarner's weakness is kiting and if you don't even have boots he will totally dominate you.
You are focusing on early AP/AS with that Nashor's Tooth but you are maxing E last, wich has the best AP ratio in Skarner's kit.
I tried to adapt my review to a world where building Skarner like this is optimal. Will wait for an answer then I will give my vote.
