Who Wins
- You win levels 1-3 if you hit your Q sweetspots and maintain proper spacing, as Garen lacks gap closers early.
- At level 6, you still have the advantage if you land your abilities, but Garen's all-in potential with ignite becomes dangerous.
How to Trade
- You want to poke with Q1 or Q2 sweetspots when Garen approaches minions, then immediately back away before he can engage.
- Never commit to extended trades unless you have a significant health advantage or your passive is ready.
Wave Control
- You should maintain a slow push or freeze near your tower to force Garen to overextend for CS.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can recall safely, as Garen excels at running you down in long lanes.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use your E aggressively without your Q combo ready, as it's your only escape tool against Garen's Q+E combo.
- Don't fight in extended trades without your passive available, as Garen's sustain will outlast yours.
