Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Skarner's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  진동의 가닥

  스카너의 기본 공격, 부서진 대지, 지반 돌출, 꿰뚫기가 전율을 적용합니다. 전율 최대 중첩 시 지속시간 동안 적들이 최대 체력 비례 마법 피해를 입습니다.

  Strong: his hits quake with bonus %HP damage in trades. Weak: needs sustained contact — kite the scorpion.

• Q
  부서진 대지/지반 돌출

  스카너가 대지에서 바위를 뜯어냅니다. 바위는 기본 공격을 강화하며 강력한 투사체로 던질 수 있습니다.

  Strong: a ripped boulder for slams and a thrown finisher. Weak: readable swings — the throw is a plain skillshot.

• W
  대지의 수호자

  스카너가 방어막을 얻고 지진을 일으켜 그 충격파로 적에게 피해를 입히고 둔화 효과를 적용합니다.

  Strong: a shield with a quaking slow zone. Weak: pop the shield first and his brawl half-dies.

• E
  이쉬탈의 격돌

  스카너가 앞으로 돌진하며 지형을 통과합니다. 챔피언이나 대형 몬스터와 충돌하면 다음에 부딪치는 벽에 내동댕이쳐 피해를 입히고 기절시킵니다.

  Strong: charges THROUGH walls, stunning what he grabs. Weak: a straight telegraphed line — one sidestep leaves him in the wall.

• R
  꿰뚫기

  스카너가 꼬리를 앞으로 후려쳐 적 챔피언을 제압합니다. 제압한 적 챔피언은 스카너를 따라 끌려다닙니다.

  Strong: impales up to THREE champions and drags them anywhere. Weak: QSS breaks it instantly; spread so it skewers one, not three.

Itemization

QSS on carries, spread formations, open-field fights. Punish his cooldown windows with kiting.
