Who Wins

  • You win most trades pre-6 through Q healing, E poke with ghouls, and superior sustain in extended fights.
  • Post-6 your advantage grows significantly with Maiden's damage and your ability to trap Skarner with W during his engages.

How to Trade

  • Use E to poke with ghouls while staying at safe distance, then look for extended trades when he's low or commits with abilities.
  • Your W cage can interrupt his E engage or trap him after he uses it, setting up your full combo.

Wave Control

  • Build up graves by last-hitting minions to maintain ghoul pressure, and look to freeze when ahead to deny him farm.
  • Push only when you want to recall or roam, as Skarner can clear waves relatively quickly with Q.

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't waste your W cage defensively unless absolutely necessary, as it's your primary tool to counter his E engage.
  • Avoid fighting without ghouls up as they provide significant damage and your kit relies heavily on their presence.
