Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win trades with E-Q combo since Skarner lacks reliable engage and your all-in is stronger than his W poke.
- Post-6: You still win if you land E first, but Skarner's R can counter-engage if you miss or if Lucian follows up quickly.
Synergy & Trading
- Look for E-Q-W combos when Skarner uses Q on minions or steps up for harass.
- Your burst combo with Varus Q follow-up outdamages Skarner's sustained trading with his empowered autos.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently since Skarner can't match your engage potential on other lanes.
- Best roam timings are after shoving waves or when Skarner backs, as he has no global presence to counter your plays.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't E into Skarner when he has E available near walls, as he can E you into terrain for a stun and turn the fight.
- Avoid extended trades where his passive stacks can proc multiple times on you and Varus.
