Riot demonstrated the skills of the updated Skarner in League of Legends

The next character in MOBA League of Legends to receive a rework will be Skarner. The developers will not only change it visually but also rework its abilities. The champion’s new skills are as follows:

• Shiver (passive skill) – Skarner’s basic attacks, as well as Shattered Ground, Concussion and Impale, inflict Tremor on enemies. At maximum Quake charges, they take periodic magic damage based on their health.
• Broken Earth [Q] — Skarner removes a stone from the ground and strengthens his basic attacks. The stone can be thrown, causing devastating damage.
• Shake [Q] — Skarner removes a stone from the ground and strengthens his basic attacks. The stone can be thrown, causing devastating damage.
• Seismic Bastion [W] – Skarner gains a shield and creates a shockwave that deals damage. When champions are defeated, the shield’s strength increases.
• Ishtal offensive [E] – Skarner dashes, ignoring the terrain, and grabs the first champion or monster on the way. When colliding with a wall, Skarner damages and stuns the target.
• Piercing [R] – Skarner impales enemy champions. While the effect is in effect, when moving, it drags defenceless victims along with it.

Below is a video demonstrating all of Skarner’s updated skills.

The Skarner rework is expected with the release of update 14.7 on April 3. It will be available to evaluate on PBE servers starting March 19th.
