^ I highly disagree with his build and runes.Heres why

24 Mr at lvl 18 or 13 at lvl 1 is far better than 7% more attack speed.Trynity force is core on skarner,gives you monstrous amounts of damage while being uber tanky.Period

A typical perfect build for skarner would be : Mercs,Shurelya,FoN,Frozen heart,randuins + trynity force.Gives a bit of everything while having uber regen,280/190 armor and mr at lvl 18,170 ad with trynity and elixirs,1.4k attack speed,23 crit,some ap and a lot of sticking power.You basically can towerdive whoever you want and still survive.

Runes i use are ad reds,ap quints,mr/lvl blues and armor yellows.Ya i know it isnt that good but thats because im short on ip right now.I dont like ms quints on skarner,lategame they arent that good.My masteries give me like 5% when above 70% hp,which i have all time during jungle.As marks are good and are a nice choice.Arpen could work or even flat ad,it depends on choice.Theres never a standard build that youll need everygame.You need to change things.Sometimes youll need a gunblade+ tryforce+wits end+ atmas maybe so you can deal huge amounts of damage while still being relatively tanky.Also remeber that skarner is a monster lategame and can destroy even the thoughest ad carryes with his huge damage and tankyness and can drag him to his team with ease and he can drag it up to 1k distance which is a lot.

TL;DR if you wanna know about skarner and wanna learn to play him and be effective read all these wall fo texts and youll do fine.
