•Q before E: pick up the rock before you charge so the gank starts with the slow already loaded, then wall-stun into immediate R instead of arriving empty-handed and making the combo feel clunky
•Treat a burned Flash like a map state on Skarner: his best fights come from short wall crossings, pit-wall E checks, and other spots where he chooses the landing place, and recent data says that displacement-and-follow-up pattern pays him more than it does almost any other jungler
•When you are not ahead enough to kidnap a carry cleanly, change jobs and drag the diver or first overstep back into your team with E and R; even games stay live on Skarner, but deeper early holes make blind open-field charges fall apart fast
