I've been building titanic, steraks, and then tank items -- usually high resist ones like randuin's, thornmail, and force of nature. For boots I go situational defensive and for runes I run PTA, triumph, legend haste, last stand and for secondary I run cashback and cosmic insight. for stats I run ability haste, scaling health, and tenacity. I typically rely on this build to snowball because if I don't it feels pretty bad. But yeah the burst is insane especially with the extra ad and titanic active. Let me know what you think of mine, any suggestions, and even what you've had success with!

Any skarner enjoyers out there abusing supp role? Advice? Viable or just funsies?

For context I'm Masters skarner otp and i tried coaching another master player on skarner and he completely fumbled everything on his smurf in like emerald. Is skarner actually hard? I've been playing him for so long i autopilot the mechanics so i don't really remember if it was hard initially or not, and i can't really think of anything that would be hard. Can any new skarner player share their experience with the champ, what was hard and what was easy to learn?

i like the rune but passive doenst refresh it despite being a DOT and counting as ability damage

is this bugged ?

hello, i just picked up skarner recently and i absolutely love them, they're my favorite character so far, they're a lot of fun for me to play, I've come here because I've been wondering

I have only been building him as a Tank, however, are there any other ways one could build him that are worth trying out besides going full max hp?

It's time somebody did this. Have fun out there.

Returning player. My wife got interested in the game. I used to play back before the first rework of skarner. I used to do some silly attack speed/bruiser jungle build with him. Can anyone suggest me some builds and runes to play him?

Ik hail of blades been going around skarner for jg but what about top?
