Abilities & how to counter them

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

• P
  战栗

  斯卡纳的普通攻击、撼地、擎天和毒刺贯体都会施加战栗效果。在满层战栗时，敌人们会在其持续期间内受到最大生命值魔法伤害。

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

• Q
  撼地 / 擎天

  斯卡纳从地面掘出一块巨石来强化他的普攻，这块巨石可作为飞弹投掷。

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

• W
  震地壁垒

  斯卡纳获得一个护盾并生成一阵地震，地震的冲击波会伤害并减速敌人们。

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

• E
  以绪塔尔冲击

  斯卡纳向前冲锋并穿过地形。如果他撞击到一个英雄或大型野怪，则可将其猛推到他命中的下一个墙体上，造成伤害和晕眩效果。

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

• R
  毒刺贯体

  斯卡纳向前甩出他的尾巴，以压制敌方英雄们。一旦被压制，猎物们就会在斯卡纳移动时被拖行。

  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.
