I started Top Skarner 3 days ago and with very little variation I've lost 2 of 8 lanes there, and 3 of 8 games. I play fairly Aggressive from levels 3-4 onwards generally after i have a decent mana pool.

My runes give me: +5.4 dmg, +10% CD at lvl 18, +13 Armor Pen, +13 Armor.



These are my masteries (not perfect but they have been working for me so far while I try to improve them).

I start my games with a Dorans Shield, afterwards I build a sheen and boots. once farmed enough and perhaps a kill or 2 I will build the sheen into an Iceborn Gauntlet. I then end up finishing the game usually with a Zephyr, Warmogs and either a Wits End or Youmuu's Ghostblade depending on the match up. for a full build I will have both of the 2 optional items generally after selling the Dorans and having boots upgraded, Although I will sometimes swap the Wits End for a Maw of Malmortius.

My 1v1 engages in lane typically follow this: run in, AA>Q>W>AA run out with the shield on. after some time when I have my Sheen or even the Chain Vest for my Gauntlet I will use this combo: W>AA>Q>E>AA>Q>AA>Q either running out or then going for the kill, you should have enough mana for a few more engages (going by how my games went).

This is what I have been doing as skarner in Top lane so far, I am always looking to improve, but so far this has been working for me since my 2 practises in Normal and 6 Ranked games. I may post again once i have completed more matches.
