Skarner vs Fiddlesticks

Updated Jun 6, 2026

Overview

Skarner must leverage terrain control to secure ganks and objective setups against Fiddlesticks's farming and vision denial style.
Focus on controlling river chokepoints before dragon and Herald to limit Fiddlesticks's ambush potential and contest objectives safely.

Jungle Plan

Path toward wall-heavy lanes to maximize (E) gank angles and suppress enemy escape.
Contest river vision aggressively before objectives to deny Fiddlesticks's setup and force him into reactive plays.
Counter-invade when Fiddlesticks commits to full clears without lane priority, punishing his low early duel strength.

Danger windows

Early invade attempts before level 6 are risky due to Fiddlesticks's fast clear and low duel resistance; avoid forced fights.
Isolated river fights without lane priority expose you to Fiddlesticks's ultimate ambush and silence; control vision tightly.
Low-health clears or forced smite fights near objectives increase vulnerability to counter-engage; ensure lane support and vision before committing.

Early game

Start with a path that prioritizes camps near walls to enable reliable (E) pins and early ganks.
Fight for first Scuttle only if nearby lanes have priority to avoid Fiddlesticks's counter-ambush.
Avoid extended fights in open jungle where Fiddlesticks can exploit his fast clear and level 6 ultimate threat.

Power spikes

Level 6 unlocks (R) suppression, enabling high-impact ganks and objective fights; use this to force picks and secure dragons.
Completing core tank items increases your frontline durability and objective control, allowing safer invades and teamfight initiation.
Mid to late game scaling enhances your utility in grouped fights, making terrain control and suppression critical for team success.

Win conditions

Convert early terrain control and gank pressure into secured dragon and Rift Herald objectives to snowball team advantage.
Use suppression picks from (R) to isolate and remove priority targets, enabling clean objective takes and teamfight wins.
Deny Fiddlesticks free farm and vision control by invading when lanes have priority, forcing him into reactive and less impactful plays.
