Abilities

Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.

Q

Shattered Earth / Upheaval

Skarner rips a boulder from the earth that empowers his attacks and can be thrown as a powerful projectile.

W

Seismic Bastion

Skarner gains a shield and creates an earthquake whose shockwave damages and slows foes.

E

Ixtal's Impact

Skarner charges forward and passes through terrain. If he collides with a champion or large monster, he'll slam them into the next wall he hits to damage and stun them.

R

Impale

Skarner's tails lash forward to suppress enemy champions. Once suppressed, the victims will be dragged along by Skarner as he moves around.
