Recast: Skarner ends Shattered Earth and throws his boulder, dealing 10 / 25 / 40 / 55 / 70 (+0.6 per bonus attack damage) (+5% of his bonus health) (+15% of the target's maximum health) physical damage, and additionally slowing the first enemy hit and any other surrounding enemies by 40% for 1.25 seconds.
Colliding into a wall with an enemy in tow deals 30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 (+8% of his maximum health) physical damage to the enemy and stuns them for 1.5 seconds.
Skarner can Recast this ability to end his charge early. Successful wall collisions reduce this ability's cooldown by 35%.
If Skarner hits at least one champion he gains 40% movement speed for 1.5 seconds.
If Shattered Earth is active, Skarner will cast Upheaval first.
