Strategy is highly subjective and may become outdated without any notice. Because of this, the League of Legends Wiki has decided to retire strategy pages and would recommend using other platforms (such as YouTube) to find guides. For more information visit this thread.

Champion Spotlight[]
Spin to win in the Champion Spotlight for 
Garen, the Might of Demacia.
Garen's a melee fighter who excels at bringing justice to his opponents in the form of tough, physical DPS. With a 
silence, a 
damage-reducing shield and an 
execute-style ability to help secure kills, Garen's toolkit is ideal for trading hits in one-on-one skirmishes while still remaining tanky. And of course there's 
Judgment, his signature ability, a furious, uninterruptable damaging spin. Garen's zero-cost spells and sturdy foundation of resistances and 
regeneration make for an aggressive, bullying playstyle that justifies his reputation as the most respected warrior in Demacia's fighting elite.

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
The Black Cleaver very effective for him. - If
LeBlanc or 
Shaco are marked as Villains, your entire team can see the mark above the real champion when they use their 
clone 
abilities.
- 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.
Tricks[]
- Ability Usage
- Mastery Usage
- Item Usage
- The Black Cleaver is a core item for Garen. It gives stats that benefit Garen. The 1st passive allows Garen to stick to his target easier and his Judgement spell quickly applies the 2nd passive.
- Alternatively, Trinity Force can be purchased. The 1st passive is the same as Black Cleaver, and since Garen has a high base AD, and it gives Garen extra burst and allows him to take towers quicker.
