Playing vs Garen
1 min read
Winning Matchup
Garen has no dashes. All he can do is run faster. Counter Garen by trading while his
Decisive Strike
Q
is on cooldown, and kiting back when he charges at you.
Garen's passive heals him when he hasn't taken any damage for a while. Make sure to periodically auto attack him to reset the cooldown on his passive. Garen has no other sustain.
Garen takes turrets surprisingly fast with his
Decisive Strike
Q
. Be aware if he takes Demolish. Do not give him too much free time with your turret.
Losing Matchup
Garen only has one combo,
Decisive Strike
Q
to run at you, then spin to win. He wants to do this over and over. Counter Garen by trading back damage after he uses the combo and is running away.
Garen gains a burst of damage at Level 6. His ult deals extra damage based on your missing health. Be careful of his Level 6 all-in.
Garen's passive at Level 11 is no longer reset by minion damage and allows him to sustain through just about any source of damage. He can freeze any wave by tanking it. Make sure to push your waves all the way to the turret or you will be zoned off.
