Who Wins
- You lose short trades early due to Garen's Q-W-E combo and sustain advantage, but can win extended fights with your W passive damage.
- Post-6 becomes more even since your R shield and mobility can help you survive Garen's execute attempts.
How to Trade
- Use Q to pull Garen when he tries to disengage, then proc your W on him during extended trades where your sustained damage shines.
- Avoid short burst trades where his Q-W-E combo chunks you without letting you retaliate effectively.
Wave Control
- Focus on last-hitting and avoiding unnecessary trades early since you can't match his sustain or short trade power.
- Look for longer trades when you have minion advantage to maximize your W passive damage output.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't get caught in the open when dismounted against Garen's R execute range.
- His silence from Q prevents you from using abilities to escape or build Courage, making you extremely vulnerable to his all-in potential.
