AP Skarner Tips and Tricks

Riot
  1. Basic attacks reduce the cooldown of Crystal Slash. Use them as often as possible for maximum damage.
  2. Capturing Crystal Spires before attempting neutral objectives or team fights around them improves Skarner's performance in said fights dramatically.
  3. Impale is extremely powerful when you use it to position an enemy so your allies can attack them.
