"Skaarf??s fire-based abilities light the target ablaze, burning enemies for 1.5% of their max health for 3.5 seconds. Each of Skaarf??s basic attacks will refresh the burn duration by 2 seconds, and increase the damage of the burn by another 1.5%, up to 10% per second. Damages-per-stack increases by 1% for every 100 crystal power. This fire does not burn turrets and deals reduced damage to Kraken."

"Skaarf spits a fireball that burns and damages anything in its path and collides with the first hero, structure, or boss monster it hits. Each target the fireball passthrough reduces its damage by 66%. Deals reduced damage to turrets if out of range."
OVERDRIVE THIS. Your main damage source if aimed properly, learn how to predict enemies, also a lesser known stat is that as you level it up it becomes faster.

"Skaarf hurls goop onto the target location. Enemies walking through the sticky substance are slowed. Skaarf??s fire abilities (including nearby flaming goop) will set the goop ablaze with a burst of damage that extends slightly beyond the gooped area. Once aflame, a gooped location will not slow but will apply damage over time. Deals half damage to minions & Kraken."
OVERDRIVE THIS. Your other main damage source, uses a metric but ton of energy at the earl levels, so try not to use it that much.

"Skaarf inhales deeply for 1.5 seconds, slowing fleeing enemies and accelerating closing allies. Skaarf then exhales flame for 3 seconds, incinerating enemies in a cone in front of him. While exhaling, enemies moving against the flame are slowed while allies moving with the flame are accelerated. Skaarf may move freely while spewing fire, but he cannot basic attack or use other abilities. Each time Dragon Breath is upgraded it adds shield piercing to the exhale damage.
Mainly a utility tool to accelerate fleeing teammates and to also provide a great scare factor, if your are going to use this successfully you will need a reflex block

Item guide Top
Early Game Top
Farm as quick as you can so you can have a heavy prism and a eclipse prism hopefully by level three, then you have a huge power spike so you want to take control of the lane. But this brings me to your biggest problem early game, YOU ARE SQUISHY, don't overextend unless your jungle is just dominating the enemy's jungle. Once you get your boots you can be a little more aggressive. Just remember to farm as much as you can, always check the top bushes with flares or put scout traps in it if the enemy team has a taka, or actually, just mine it anyways so you can stay up top away from the mustache bushes where everyone waits to gank. Most players will notice if you disappear from the lane but again most will chalk it up to you going down to the jungle shop to buy, so that means if you can sneak to the top bushes you can "gank" the enemy laner your self when they push the lane because your gone. Remember to always open with a spit fire and when you place a goop place it so that it is in the way of where the enemy wants to go so that they either have to run through it, taking a ton of damage, or go around if letting you get free hits on them. Always back if you have low health, backing is faster and doesn't give the enemy free money. Also a tip is to try to always hit the enemy when you are using your spitfire on the minions, it won't do nearly as much damage but any free damage to the enemies is good.
Mid game Top
If you were following this guide, you should have enough power to do some serious damage by now, still farm, you will do some easy damage and probably get some kills before they start buying shield, that is why I get shatterglass and eve first. Now is when you really need to watch out for ganking as the enemy jungler should have probably gotten enough power themselves to kill you. Start paying attention to what the enemy carry is building, weapon or crystal, and start building against that yourself. Now you will be fighting over the gold mine more and engaging in team fights. If you are behind, in levels or farm (gold), try to farm whenever you can. This normally goes by pretty quickly compared to the rest of the game.
Late game Top
Now is the glory time, you should try to stay with your team so you are ready for any team fights that break out. Try to pick off any of the enemy if they split up, even getting the tank out of the way helps. Still try to get gold any way you can, these items are pretty expensive and when you get your max items you should try to stay above 1k gold for any quick infusions that you need, these are awesome and can mean the difference between a win and a loss.
Conclusion Top
In the hands of an unskilled player skaarf sucks. Period. This isn't after his first buff where he was ridiculously op, now he requires a bit of finesse and actual skill to dominate with, but that is my main point for this rambling guide, he can be COMPLETLY OP in the hands of a great player.
Thanks for reading it all if you got this far. vikings102 (I changed the title so it looks better)
