SKARNER THE PRIMORDIAL SOVEREIGN REEMERGES IN PATCH 14.7

Riot Games :

In Patch 14.7, Skarner will reemerge onto the Rift with an all-encompassing VGU (Visual and Gameplay Update), including changes to his in-game abilities and playstyle, his artwork and in-game model, and his lore within the world of Runeterra. Through VGUs, League of Legends aims to modernize beloved champions while honoring their core identities and designs. 

  “I am the vanguard of Ixtal's protection.”   The ancient brackern Skarner is revered in Ixtal as one of the founding members of its ruling caste, the Yun Tal, and is devoted to keeping Ixtal safe from the rest of the world by maintaining the region's isolation. As more members of the Yun Tal begin to question this decision, Skarner grows increasingly paranoid and will do anything to keep Ixtal and its people safe—no matter the cost.   ABILITIES:

Passive - Threads of Vibration   Skarner’s attacks, Shattered Earth, Upheaval, and Impale apply Quaking to enemies. Enemies with three stacks of Quaking take % Max HP damage over time.
 


Q - Shattered Earth/Upheaval   Skarner rips a rock out of the ground and uses it to empower his next three attacks with bonus damage, range, and attack speed. His third attack slams the rock into his target, slowing and dealing significant bonus damage, ending the effect.   Skarner may re-cast Upheaval to throw the rock as a projectile that explodes on the first enemy hit, dealing the same damage and slow, ending the effect.

W - Seismic Bastion   Skarner gains a shield and slams into the ground, releasing a shockwave that damages and slows nearby enemies.



E - Ixtal’s Impact   Skarner charges forward, ignoring terrain, and grabs the first enemy champion or large monster he collides with. He may then carry them a short way, damaging and stunning them if they collide with terrain.
 
R - Impale   Skarner impales up to three enemy champions, damaging and suppressing them. Skarner gains bonus movement speed for a short time and carries them with him until the end of the effect.
