New Skarner Jungle World Record Clears - 2:34 from Blue, 2:37 from Red (gromp first)

I'm Veno, a grandmaster jungler who does jungle clear demonstrations on a bunch of champions. I spent the last couple days looking into the Skarner clears, and I improved both by a few seconds (-3 seconds from Blue, -4 seconds from Red).

Both clears were done with a QWE skill order, one smite, a standard rune page that gives no benefits to clearing, and AH/HPS/HPS shards.

2:43 / 2:46 Locke Jungle Clears

I've been seeing misinformation about Locke's jungle clear being slow. Some comments claim it's in the 3:05-3:10 range, and the fastest videos I found claimed times in the high 2:5x to low 3:0x range, so I decided to set the record straight.

I'm Veno, a grandmaster player with clear speed records on Evelynn, Pantheon, Wukong, and Zac. Locke jungle looks fun, so I decided to dedicate some time to the clear. Here's what I ended up with:

2:43 Blue Clear - https://youtu.be/CpApXoVvt34 (1 Smite, Blue Gromp Wolves Raptors Red Krugs)

2:46 Red Clear - https://youtu.be/FXenYE7Xad4 (1 Smite, Red Krugs Raptors Wolves Blue Gromp)

Potential improvements:

The Blue clear misses one raptor due to unfortunate jungle pet luck, but the showcased strategy is mostly consistent, and the time is likely optimal barring a strategy breakthrough.

With superhuman execution, it might be possible to bring the red clear to a 2:45, but I doubt that's human viable. I had a slight hiccup at Blue with the bush, but due to HP thresholds and the way gromp is done, it only lost around 0.2 to 0.3 seconds. If someone is pixel-perfect pretty much everywhere and gets slightly luckier krug spawn RNG than I did in this clear, a 2:45 could happen, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
