Skarner General information
Skarner tips and tricks
Your Ultimate is a crucial ability. Make sure you play around its cooldown and try to maximize your ganks whenever your Ultimate is up to get kills.
In team fights, try to use your Ultimate on the enemy when they’re grouped together. Locking down as many champions and carrys as possible.
Look for unique ganking paths and avoid using your E in commonly warded locations. It will give the enemy less time to react.
