Introduction
Why would you play skarner? He's a CRYSTAL SCORPION! Why would'nt you play him? And if the look is not enough then let me tell you: He's one of the fastest and most effective junglers atm. And yeah you might think that he can't gank until lvl 6. But NO THAT'S NOT TRUE! He ganks just great at lvl 4. And with his jungle clearing speed he'll be lvl 4 in NO time!
Sooo how do you play skarner? Well that's what i'm trying to teach you in this guide. So keep reading!
s |
Pros :)![]() + Very beefy + Can handle most champs 1n1 + Has great Crowd Control with his ULT! + One of the fastest junglers ingame atm! + Almost 100% killchance if ganking @ lvl 6. |
SPAAAAAAAAACE |
Cons :(![]() - Really blue buff dependant early game. - Ganking can be hard before lvl 6. - Has no "real" ranged spells. |
I went with Attack Speed marks
Greater Mark of Attack Speed - Because of his passive
Armor Seals
Greater Seal of Armor - Pretty much a must for jungling
Magic Resist Glyphs
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist - Because we're going to play a tanky skarner (Calm down not 100% tank trust me he'll do enough damage!)
26 HP quints
Greater Quintessence of Health - Making the jungling much easier with the 78 extra HP at lvl 1 plus making him quite tanky @ low lvls

Armor Seals

Magic Resist Glyphs

26 HP quints

Went with a 9-21-0 Getting 2 in
Brute Force
so i could have 2 in
Butcher
then 4% Attack speed so i could have the 10% ARP which is just too good to not get. Then i went into the defensive tree.
I left
Resistance
out because i benefit more from 6 armor than i do from 6 magic resist at low lvls.
I left out
Vigor
IMO this is only used for people who have to stay for long in their lane as possible, like top laners. So i've let this out as we're not solo laning top.
Siege Commander
We're jungling so normally we're not the ones pushing turrets. This might be good in some cases but i've let it out as i'll be ganking more lanes instead of staying in one lane and pushing the turret.
Enlightenment
CDR is not really needed on skarner as his passive is kind off a build in CDR.
Mercenary
Aight. This means that you'll get an extra minion kill per kill/assist. That sounds great Abby why didn't you pick that one up? Well with this awesome builds everyone will be surrendering at 20:00 so it won't be worth it! ;)

The Summoner Spells i've chosen

Smite is basically a must have if you're playing Skarner as a jungler. And that's what we will!

Flash has recently been nerfed which means it's not that much of a must have anymore. But I've still chosen to pick it up as the flash will in a lot of situations make sure you'll just get in distance to ult the target.
But Abby what about ghost? With ghost you'll be able to catch up on ur opponent too? Yeah you're right. And ghost is actually viable but it's just not as good as flash is. With flash EVEN though it's nerfed you're able to flash over walls to escape or flash over a wall to get that last hit on your target. Also this makes you able to flash+smite steal baron which is actually a great thing if you actually manage to do it
(Warning this probably won't work 9 out of 10 times, but give it a try anyways! Your team will love you as a god if you actually manage to do it. Also you'll feel like a boss yourself if you do it! (: )
Other viable Summoner Spells




You can switch any of these 4 out with flash if you prefer them.








Semi Viable Summoner Spells






NON Viable Summoner Spells
