Evelynn vs Skarner

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Evelynn must survive early invade pressure and full clear efficiently to reach level 6 safely.
Use stealth post-6 to create picks on pushed or isolated lanes instead of fighting Skarner head-on.
This is a scale-oriented matchup where Evelynn leverages stealth and AP burst versus Skarner's frontline and terrain control.

Jungle Plan

Path for clean full clears and avoid predictable routes to minimize Skarner's invade chances.
Contest Scuttle only when your lanes can move first and deny Skarner terrain control near objectives.
Use post-6 camouflage to cross-map and punish Skarner's gank attempts on pushed lanes or isolated carries.

Danger windows

High risk during early clears with low health near river where Skarner can invade or force smite fights.
Avoid isolated river fights before level 6 where Skarner's terrain control and CC punish overextensions.
Be cautious contesting dragon or Rift Herald without lane priority or vision control due to Skarner's frontline and suppression.

Early game

Prioritize a full clear to reach level 6 without low-health river paths that invite Skarner invades.
Avoid early river skirmishes unless nearby lanes have priority to support counter-ganks.
Skip fighting for first Scuttle if Skarner's nearby lanes have priority and terrain advantage.

Power spikes

Evelynn's level 6 stealth and (W) charm create strong pick potential; use this to force Skarner off objectives.
Skarner's suppression (R) and (E) stun spike threat around early objective fights; respect these when contesting.
Evelynn's AP scaling post-6 outpaces Skarner's dueling, so prioritize reaching this timing safely.

Win conditions

Convert clean full clears and level 6 stealth into cross-map picks to deny Skarner's objective control.
Use vision denial and post-6 gank threat to force Skarner off key objectives and create teamfight advantages.
Scale into mid-late game to exploit AP burst and stealth flanks, bypassing Skarner's frontline tankiness.
