Skarner vs Evelynn

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Skarner's strength lies in controlling terrain for ganks and objective fights, forcing Evelynn to play cautiously early.
Prioritize river and wall control to limit Evelynn's stealth flanks and deny her safe paths.

Jungle Plan

Path through camps near walls to maximize (E) wall pin ganks on lanes without escapes.
Use terrain control to hold river chokes before dragon and Herald, denying Evelynn's access and vision.
Invade Evelynn's jungle early only when your lanes have priority and Evelynn is spotted on opposite side of the map.

Danger windows

Evelynn's post-6 camouflage creates high risk in isolated river fights and jungle entrances; avoid overextending without vision.
Low-health clears expose Skarner to Evelynn's early invade attempts; prioritize health management and safe pathing.
Forced smite fights near dragon or Herald can be risky if Evelynn's team has lane priority; avoid engaging without lane support.

Early game

Start with a full clear to reach early objective setups while tracking Evelynn's path to avoid counter-invades.
Contest first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to back up potential fights.
Avoid extended river skirmishes before level 6 where Evelynn's camouflage makes her dangerous.

Power spikes

Level 6: Skarner's (R) suppression enables strong ganks and objective fights; use this to force picks before Evelynn can flank.
Early completed tank items increase Skarner's frontline durability, allowing him to contest objectives and absorb damage in fights.
Evelynn's level 6 stealth spike demands Skarner respect flank angles and maintain vision control to avoid surprise engages.

Win conditions

Convert terrain-based ganks into objective control by securing dragon and Herald with vision dominance.
Use suppression (R) to isolate and pick priority targets, enabling teamfights where Skarner's tank frontline excels.
Deny Evelynn safe jungle access through counter-jungling when lanes have priority, limiting her scaling and pick potential.
