The information below will help you get familiar with the game on the Jungle Line SKARNER. We have prepared a items builds, runes, summoner spells and ability order for a comfortable game. Situational options for replacing items and runes are also available to you.
Key items
Shimmering Spark (Burns nearby enemies). Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.
Shimmering Spark
Burns nearby enemies
+50 Max Health
Burn: Deals 5-10 magic damage per second to nearby enemies.
500
Searing Crown
Attacks and damaging abilities burn enemies +300 Max Health
+50 Armor
Fiery Touch: After dealing damage with an attack or ability, burn target for 3 seconds, dealing 1.4% of the target’s maximum health as magic damage per second (damage reduced to 0.8% for ranged users).
Deals 150% damage to minions and monsters.
Maximum 125 damage to monsters. 2700
Searing Crown TIPS: This item is perfect for champions who want to combine high survivability with bonus health-percentage damage. It provides a substantial boost to health and armor, and its “Fiery Touch” passive burns targets on hit with attacks or abilities, dealing magic damage equal to a percentage of their maximum health. This makes it effective against tanks and high-health champions, while also speeding up waveclear and jungle clear. Ideal for tanks and bruisers who want to leave a mark in fights while staying durable.
Plated Steelcaps
Reduces Physical Damage +150 Max Health
+50% Health Regen +20 Armor
+45 Move Speed. 900
Plated Steelcaps TIPS: These boots are a go-to counter when the enemy relies on basic attacks and physical damage. They increase your armor and health regeneration while giving movement speed, helping you survive trades, dives and extended skirmishes versus AD-centric comps. Pick them when the enemy team has strong marksmen, sustained auto-attack threats or multiple AD bruisers who punish low armor.
Hollow Radiance
Deals damage in an area +400 Max Health
+40 Magic Resistance
+15 Ability Haste
Immolate: While in combat, deal magic damage equal to 20–30 plus 1% of bonus per second for 5 second(s) to nearby enemies. Deals 125% damage against monsters and 200% damage against minions.
Desolate: Killing a neutral monster or an enemy deals magic damage equal to 30 plus 2% of bonus in an area around them. 2800
Hollow Radiance TIPS: This item turns you into a steady source of pressure in fights: while engaged, it emits an area magic damage aura that helps clear waves and punish nearby small targets. On killing a neutral or enemy, it detonates for area damage, making it great for fast clears and threat creation when entering skirmishes. Perfect for tanks and frontline bruisers who need to hold the center of fights and force opponents into mistakes.

Mercury's Treads
Reduces Magic Damage +200 Max Health +50% Health Regen +20 Magic Resistance +45 Move Speed. 900

Stoneplate Enchant
Shield
Stoneplate (Active): Gain a base shield that absorbs damage equal to 15% of max Health. Every 1 bonus Armor or Magic Resistance you have increases the shield by 0.1%, up to 35%.

Every 1 bonus Armor or Magic Resistance you have increases the shield by 0.1%, up to 12%. Damage dealt is reduced by 40% for 4s. 500
Stoneplate Enchant TIPS: This enchant grants a strong shield based on your max health, further boosted by your armor and magic resist. The shield grows stronger per nearby enemy and decays over time, reducing incoming damage. — Perfect for tank initiators who need reliable mitigation to withstand initial bursts and control teamfights.
Searing Crown (Attacks and damaging abilities burn enemies) as your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps (Reduces Physical Damage) or Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Hollow Radiance (Deals damage in an area).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in
Stoneplate Enchant (Gain a Shield).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Heartsteel TIPS: This item is perfect for tanks and bruisers who want to combine maximum survivability with massive burst damage against enemy champions.

The “Colossal Consumption” passive requires a 2.5-second charge when near an enemy champion, after which your next strike deals significant bonus physical damage based on your max health and grants you 15% of the damage dealt as bonus health. This allows you to both absorb damage and heal during skirmishes, making the item an excellent choice for extended fights and closing out teamfights. Excellent synergy with Spirit Visage: the healing amplification and regeneration boost from Spirit Visage further enhance the health restoration from this item’s passive, providing incredible survivability and sustain in combat.

Every 1 bonus Armor or Magic Resistance you have increases the shield by 0.1%, up to 12%. Damage dealt is reduced by 40% for 4s. 500

The shield grows stronger per nearby enemy and decays over time, reducing incoming damage. — Perfect for tank initiators who need reliable mitigation to withstand initial bursts and control teamfights.
Heartsteel (Increase Maximum Health) as your first item, followed by Plated Steelcaps (Reduces Physical Damage) or Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Fimbulwinter (Converts Mana to Health).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in
Stoneplate Enchant (Gain a Shield).
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Excellent synergy with Spirit Visage: the healing amplification and regeneration boost from Spirit Visage further enhance the health restoration from this item’s passive, providing incredible survivability and sustain in combat.
