 | Skarner - the Crystal VanguardPrimary: Fighter / Secondary: Tank Centuries ago, there lived a race of creatures as ferocious as they were wise. The Brackern were unusual beings blessed with the earth's primal magic, embodied in the form of crystals. Their kind knew of an arcane ritual to bind their life's essence to a crystal, communing with the magic embedded in it. With this power, the Brackern thrived in the Odyn Valley, protecting both creatures and crystals alike. Despite attacks from those looking to claim the primal magic, it seemed that nothing could get past the Brackern's defenses. Nothing, that is, until the devastation of a Rune War.

★ General Strategy
✔ Playing as
- Your basic attacks will reduce the cooldown of your abilities--use basic attacks between Crystal Slashes for maximum damage.
- Hit a number of enemies with Fracture, and then follow up with a Crystal Slash to quickly gain a lot of health.
- Impale is extremely powerful when you use it to position an enemy so your allies can attack them.
✗ Playing against
- Skarner can't harm you very much outside of short range, so stay away from him!
- Skarner's movement speed and attack speed are increased as long as his shield, Crystalline Exoskeleton, persists. Attack him to lower his speed.
- Some Skarners will have lots of defensive items, while others may build offensively. Check the items your enemy has to determine how to beat them.
