Innate: Crystal Carapace

If Skarner has not taken damage in the past 5 seconds, his exoskeleton will start accumulating crystals, granting him a stack of Crystal Carapace every few seconds (up to 5 stacks). While Skarner has any stacks of Crystal Carapace, incoming damage from champions is reduced by a %, and incoming damage from large jungle monsters is reduced by a greater %, but a stack is lost whenever Skarner takes damage from these sources.

Q: Diamond Crush

Skarner empowers his next basic attack with the strength to crush diamond, dealing bonus physical damage and reducing the enemy's armor by a % for a short duration.

W: Tunneling Frenzy

While out of combat for a short period, Skarner will partially submerge under the ground, granting him a stack of Burrow every few seconds (up to 3 stacks). Each stack of Burrow grants Skarner bonus movespeed, and causes him to regenerate a small % of his maximum health and mana each second. Tunneling Frenzy's passive effects do not occur while the ability is on cooldown, and dealing or receiving damage removes all stacks and resets the combat timer.

 

Upon activation, Skarner bursts out of the ground, consuming all stacks of Burrow and granting himself bonus movespeed and attackspeed per stack consumed for a short duration.

E: Crystallizing Sting

Skarner injects an ancient crystal into an enemy with his stinger, causing their body to slowly become coated in diamond for a short duration. For every few steps the affected enemy takes, their movespeed is decreased by a small %. If they move more than certain distance over the duration, they are stunned briefly and freed from Crystallizing Sting's effects.

R: Impale

Skarner impales a target enemy champion with his tail, suppressing them briefly. For the duration, Skarner can move freely and will drag his target around with him. Enemies affected by Impale take physical damage at the beginning and end of the ability.
