SKARNER

The Primordial Sovereign

JungleDWR54.3%Top

The ancient, colossal brackern Skarner is revered in Ixtal as one of the founding members of its ruling caste, the Yun Tal. Devoted to keeping his nation safe from the rest of the world, Skarner dwells in a chamber beneath Ixaocan where he can hear the vibrations of the earth and detect potential threats. As more members of the Yun Tal begin questioning Ixtal's self-isolation, Skarner grows increasingly paranoid and will do anything to keep Ixtal and its people safe—no matter the cost.

THREADS OF VIBRATIONPassive

Skarner's attacks, Shattered Earth, Upheaval, and Impale apply Quaking to targets for 4 seconds (max 3 stacks). At 3 stacks of Quaking, enemies take 5%–10% (based on level) of their max Health as magic damage over its duration. Deals up to 100–450 (based on level) damage against monsters.

SHATTERED EARTHSkill 1

First Cast (Shattered Earth): Grabs a boulder, empowering his next 3 attacks to gain 25% Attack Speed and deal 15 (+100% bonus AD +4% bonus Health) physical damage to nearby enemies. The third attack deals an additional 11% of the target's max Health as physical damage and slows by 45% for 1 second. Recast (Upheaval): Ends this ability and throws the boulder in a target direction. The boulder explodes on the first enemy hit, dealing 15 (+100% bonus AD +4% bonus Health) plus 11% of the target's max Health as physical damage to them and nearby enemies and slowing them by 45% for 1 second. Percent Health damage to monsters from the third attack and Upheaval is capped at 200 (+100% bonus AD +4% bonus Health). The first two attacks deal 100% damage to structures. The third attack and Upheaval deal 200% damage to structures.

The combos in the tables below, grouped by shape; not a ranking or a verdict. Each item goes to the family its stats are worth the most gold in, and a shape is how many of the 3 core items fall in each family. Effects (passives) are not counted, and items without stats are left out. Runes are grouped by keystone and the most common tree among the rest. The icons show the most common combo of each shape. A shape at 10% or more counts as a pattern; shapes under 3% get no card. Less common item families are families whose items appear in under 10% of the Chinese combos but do show up in overseas guides or streamer and pro builds. Their icons are separate item options seen in those sources, not one build. Families are listed by how many sources they appear in.

Gold values with nothing equipped. Ratios such as AP grow with your build in the Build Lab. Tap a row to see the formula.

Assumptions

Combat only: 50%

Effects that only work in combat or under a condition are counted as active half the time. The same rule applies to every rune and spell.

At most once per 8s

Effects that re-trigger on attacks are counted at most once every 8 seconds, since a single fight only allows so many procs.

Damage valued like healing

Damage to an enemy is valued like healing yourself the same amount, priced with the health regen rate.

Survival factor

Moving faster by some % is counted as that % more effective health, since speed lets you dodge and escape. Value = median max health × the speed gain × the health price.

Move speed % as flat

Move speed % is converted to flat move speed against the median base speed of 350, then priced at the flat rate.

Champion median

Values that depend on the champion, such as health, use the median of all champions at level 1 and level 15.

Skill ranks from level

A champion's ability values depend on rank, so rank is derived from level. The ultimate ranks up at levels 5 / 9 / 13. Remaining points go to abilities 1 → 2 → 3 in turn (1 / 0 / 0 at level 1, 4 / 4 / 4 at level 15). Which ability to max first is a judgement call, so every champion uses the same order. Abilities with a different number of ranks (such as Jayce's 5) follow the same rule, raising the lowest-ranked ability one point at a time; an ability learned from level 1 starts at rank 1.

One fight per 90s

A 15-minute match is assumed to have 10 fights. Shields and damage blocks that work once per fight are counted as extra health in every fight.

Fight length: 10 s

Crowd control that stops the enemy (stun, charm, etc.) is treated as time you aren't being hit. A fight is assumed to last 10 s, so it counts as holding seconds ÷ 10 × median max health in extra health each fight. Uses are capped like shields: the fewer of cooldown uses and fights.
