Garen
The Might of Demacia
Overview
Class: Fighter · Tank
A proud and noble warrior, Garen fights as one of the Dauntless Vanguard.

Tips
Playing as 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.
