So as I said, Welcome! I'd like to say this guide is not written by some crazy amazing high ELO player for pros to get better at Skarner. I wrote this guide for people who are just starting, or who need a little help building and playing The Crystal Vanguard. If you Upvote/Downvote, i would appreciate a comment just letting me know what I'm doing right/wrong. lastly, please keep in mind that not all chapters are implemented yet. Now ON TO THE GUIDE!!!

Skarner is a high damage (early game) very tanky (late game) champion with extreme mobility. His skill set provides you with a a very versatile amount of CC and the capability of dishing out chunks of damage in teamfights.

The core of any jungler is... you guessed it...

Smite

With a free 10 gold on use, and the ability to kill/secure buffs much faster in the jungle, Smite is a given when jungling in general.

another good skill to take on Skarner is...

Ghost

Ghost and Flash serve the same purpose, escaping/chasing. Now on Skarner I prefer ghost due to its ability to be used with impale to increase the distance someone can be dragged. The utility of being able to drag further in my opinion outweighs the wall blinking form flash

Other viable summoner spells

• Flash - A common chase/escape, take this to replace ghost if you prefer it.
• Exhaust - Can make up for the lack of early CC when ganking

Spells not listed i would not recommend taking EVER.

Ok so it is NOT numbered in order (the numbers are for easy reference), here is the actual route order.

2-1-3-5-2-4-3

This route can leave Skarner at lower health but allows him to immediately back for boots to start ganking and/or continue farming.
