Skarner, the Crystal Vanguard, is a powerful champion in the League of Legends universe. He is a massive scorpion-like creature hailing from the crystalline underground realm of Shurima. Skarner's lore tells the tale of a once-proud race known as the Brackern, who were nearly driven to extinction by human greed. As one of the last surviving Brackern, Skarner seeks to protect his kind and reclaim the stolen power of the Brackern crystals.
In the game, Skarner is a tanky fighter who excels at disrupting enemy formations and locking down high-priority targets. His passive ability, Crystal Spires, allows him to control key areas of the map, granting vision and movement speed to his team. Skarner's Q ability, Crystal Slash, deals damage to nearby enemies and enhances his attack speed. His W ability, Crystalline Exoskeleton, provides a shield and movement speed boost, making him more durable and mobile in combat. Skarner's E ability, Fracture, fires a crystal shard that damages and slows enemies, while also marking them for bonus damage. Finally, Skarner's ultimate ability, Impale, allows him to suppress and drag an enemy champion, making them vulnerable to his team's attacks.
Skarner's unique playstyle and abilities make him a formidable force on the battlefield. His ability to control objectives with his passive and disrupt enemy formations with his ultimate can turn the tide of team fights. Skarner's tankiness and crowd control make him a great frontline champion, capable of soaking up damage and protecting his team. However, he does have some weaknesses. Skarner relies heavily on his ultimate ability to initiate fights, so if it is on cooldown or he is unable to reach priority targets, his impact can be significantly reduced. Additionally, Skarner's lack of long-range abilities makes him vulnerable to kiting and poke champions.

Lore:
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.
Ally tips:
Basic attacks apply Quaking. Stick to your target and re-apply it for maximum damage. Capturing Crystal Spires before attempting neutral objectives or team fights around them improves Skarner's performance in said fights dramatically. Impale is extremely powerful when you use it to position an enemy so your allies can attack them.
Enemy tips:
Ixtal's Impact can be stopped by any stun, root, or knock-up. Save a key cooldown if he's coming for a gank!Impale can be dodged. Use Flash or another ability to get out of reach.Skarner's sustained damage can eventually take you down. Be careful not to ignore him.
