Garen General information
Garen tips and tricks
If you’ve been bullied heavily by the enemy champion, hold back and wait for your Passive to kick in to gain some health back.
Use your W as a tool to avoid CC or burst when trading. You do not want to be caught without it when the enemy Jungler ganks your lane, so only use it when you’re committing to a trade.
You can cancel your E early and finish the enemy off with basic attacks. Keep this in mind if you are planning on using your R to execute the enemy.
