Garen Tips
- Garen is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
- Garen has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
- Garen has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
- Garen has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
- Garen has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
- Garen has a low base attack speed, which can make last hitting in the early game more challenging. It can also make percentage attack speed items scale less effectively than they do on other champions.
Playing Garen
- Garen's regeneration greatly increases if he can avoid receiving damage for several seconds.
- Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. For effective trading, try to position such that only the enemy champion is hit.
- Garen is only constrained by cooldowns, making items such as Black Cleaver very effective for him.
Playing Against Garen
- Stack armor items to lower the large amount of physical damage that Garen deals out.
- Try to run away from Garen as your health gets lower, as he can execute you quickly with Demacian Justice.
- Be careful about attacking Garen in brush. It often will lead to taking full damage from Judgment.
- Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. If getting out of its radius isn't possible, move through allied minions to reduce damage taken.
