Skarner Wild Rift Synergies
S Tier 2
Orianna
Orianna turns Skarner into an excellent ball delivery champion. Skarner forces the entry with Ixtal's Impact or Flash + Impale, then Orianna can land Shockwave on already locked targets. The synergy is very strong around objectives because enemies must group in jungle corridors. She also compensates for Skarner's lack of instant burst.

Galio
Galio naturally follows Skarner's deep entries. When Skarner crosses a wall to start the fight, Galio can arrive with Hero's Entrance and add taunt, magic damage and protection. This frontline duo is excellent against burst comps trying to punish the first engage. The combo works best when Skarner announces his angle before committing.

Miss Fortune
Impale and Skarner's slows keep targets in predictable areas, making Bullet Time easier to land. The synergy mainly depends on vision and timing around objectives.
