Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 as Garen's Q movement speed and early damage output overwhelms your limited trading tools, but you need to survive until 6 where your R gives you kill pressure.
- At level 6, you become the stronger champion with your R-W-E combo providing massive damage and CC that Garen cannot match.
How to Trade
- Your trading pattern revolves around baiting Garen's Q with positioning, then using W to negate his damage while landing your own W damage, followed by E if he commits further.
- Post-6, look for R engages when he's around 60-70% HP as your full combo can secure kills through his W.
Wave Control
- Focus on last-hitting and giving up CS early to avoid Garen's favorable trades, using Q to farm safely from range when possible.
- After level 6, you can start controlling waves more aggressively and look for slow pushes into R engages when the wave is in a favorable position.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't try to match Garen's early aggression as you will lose extended trades before level 6, and avoid using E defensively unless absolutely necessary as it's your main engage tool.
- Never waste your R on trades you can't finish, as it's your primary kill condition and has a long cooldown.
