I think Skarner is about the strength of Udyr WITH AN ULTIMATE.

As in, OP. Not terribly much but yeah, that Impale...very low cooldown, very scary to get caught in.

I like to build my Skarner as DPS-y as possible but you need to know when to stop...as in when to suck it up and buy tank items.

So I like to go with some of these items at first:
Cloth Armor + 5 Health Potion <- Jungle Starting Items
Mercury's Treads <- Must-Have, since Skarner can get kited a lot, like Udyr.
Wriggle's Lantern <- Yay jungle obliteration~
Philosopher's Stone & Heart of Gold <- Yay more gold and free stats.

Then for my DPS:
Trinity Force <- Must-Have, synergizes very very well
Guinsoo's Rageblade <- This item is so so good on Skarner...most gold-efficient item in the game.

Then for my tankiness:
Wit's End <- More Attack Speed and...uh...um...Magic Resist! Right.

Then for my actual tankiness:
Randuin's Omen <- Devastatingly absurd active. (Builds out of Heart of Gold)
Shurelya's Battlesong <- For those key initiations with Impale. (Builds out of Philosopher's Stone)
Banshee's Veil <- For those malicious mages.
Frozen Heart <- For those dastardly DPSers.

Fantastic artwork by Xiaowiriamu & TheNamelessBard!

Skarner is a really powerful counter jungle and clears with pretty good time. His ganks are strong enough at level six. I build attack speed items usually if i'm not being successful in ganking i buy wirggles if i i am i skip it and buy regular wards. Hope this helps!

Skarner...is...umm...not so good...at all. HE IS F***ING AMAZING!!!

Seriously, I can make him do everything. Jungle, tank, support, dps, ad/as, ap, hybrid (ftw), just omfg roflnubstompfacerollpwnage LIKE A BOSS!!!

I like to build Merc's, Wriggle's, Spirit Visage, then Sheen right out of the jungle. If the game is expected to last much longer (in other words, am I not raping them enough yet?) I just build from there depending on my preference and mood, into anything. Really.

My brother challenged me to a jungle-off. He had been jungling Udyr for a month, I had been jungling Skarner for a day... I then proceeded to annihilate him in a fight (maybe I'm just better than him...?).
