Learn how to play with Garen with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Garen activates his R, he deals true damage based on the target's missing health with short range. Instead of securing kills on low-health enemies, consider leaving them for Garen to finish with his ultimate for guaranteed execution.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Garen's E (Judgment) reduces enemy champions' armor by 25% after they're hit 6 times. Physical damage dealers should focus on the same targets Garen is spinning on to maximize team damage output.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Garen's passive health regeneration activates after 8 seconds of not taking damage from champions or turrets. After skirmishes, allow him space to regenerate health before engaging again.
Lane Phase Skirmish
When Garen reaches level 6, he gains significant kill potential with his short-range true damage ultimate. Consider coordinating ganks or skirmishes around this power spike.
Basic Lane Phase
Garen excels at flanking enemies but relies on good vision control. Support his flanking attempts by placing control wards in side brushes and river, while engaging from the front to create distractions.
Advanced Team Fight
When Garen activates his Q to silence an enemy, follow up with your own crowd control abilities. This creates an extended lockdown, preventing enemies from escaping or using abilities.
Team Fight Skirmish
When Garen activates his W, he reduces incoming damage by 30% for 4 seconds. Use this window to engage more aggressively or focus high-priority targets, as he can absorb significantly more damage.
Team Fight
In the mid-game, Garen becomes an effective split pusher with his wave clear and dueling potential. Create pressure on the opposite side of the map while he draws attention to his lane.
Late Game
In team fights, create space for Garen to reach high-priority targets. His lack of gap closers beyond his Q movement speed means he needs teammates to help him access backline carries.
Team Fight
Garen's early game can be vulnerable against ranged champions. If he's in a difficult matchup, provide jungle presence to help him farm safely until he reaches his mid-game power spike.
Lane Phase
