The noblest warrior in the LoL universe, Garen is one of the glorious soldiers of the Demasya army and a member of the Crownguard family. He is a very strong and smart fighter, but unfortunately these features are not reflected in the game. Garen is a fairly basic champion with a kit.
In this article, we have compiled all of Garen’s abilities, strengths, weaknesses, ct’s and gameplay suggestions. Let’s take a look at how to play Garen more effectively.
All abilities of Garen, who can lower a sword from the sky:
Passive – Fortitude: Garen automatically heals extra when not fighting.
Q – Relentless Charge: Garen sprints towards his opponent, striking a powerful attack and silencing the opponent. It also gets rid of the slowing effects on it.
W – Courage: Garen briefly gains a shield and tether. This ability passively gains armor and magic resist as they kill an enemy.
E – Judgment: Garen deals rotating damage to enemies based on attack speed.
R – Justice of Demacia: Garen drops a sword from the sky that deals massive true damage.
As an indestructible tank, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the Garen?
Strengths:
Garen’s strongest point is actually his passive Fortitude. Thanks to this passive, which allows Garen to regenerate if he does not fight, Garen can recover his health and continue to kill minions, even if the trade turns out to be harmful. Garen’s E ability allows him to deal a lot of damage in 1v1 fights. Also, an unknown information about Garen: If you press W before you are exposed to full crowd control, you can easily get rid of crowd control with the instant dodge you gain.
Weaknesses:
The biggest shortcoming in Garen’s kit is that he doesn’t have a crowd control. For this reason, his opponents can easily hit him and he is very weak against ranged champions. As long as the opposing team doesn’t back up, it’s useless in team battles other than being a tank. In the late game, you can only use Garen for tanking and split pushing.
Garen CTs that can knock it down:
- Camille
- Vayne
- Kayle
Since Garen is a very simple champion to play and the champion’s limits are quite limited, he can actually be ctified by many champions. However, the three champions we gave above are the 3 champions with the most win rates against Garen.
Of these, Vayne achieves this with her true damage and being a ranged champion. Camille can block Garen’s damage with her passive shield, and she can keep her distance from Garen with her E ability at will. Kayle, on the other hand, has a great advantage thanks to her ranged and ability to hit Garen.
Tips for playing Garen:
Play it safe in the early game with Garen and avoid trades in the early game, otherwise you will fall back and you won’t be able to get stronger. After unlocking your ultimate, your potential to score increases a lot, so trade with your opponent at level 5 and when you are level 6, dive with all your skills and execute your opponent with your ultimate.
In the midgame, when there’s no teamfight, split push and get your opponent’s attention on you. If the opponent attacks you, you can run away with the Q ability, and if 1 person comes, you can score 1 to 1. Try to back the opponent for team fights.
The late game is a phase where Garen is weak. In teamfights, silence the opponent’s most damaging member with your Q and tank as much as you can. Keeping your team alive is your biggest function in the late game with Garen.
