Who Wins
- You dominate pre-6 with Q poke and E blocking his Q engage attempts, forcing favorable trades.
- Post-6 becomes more dangerous as Garen's R can execute you if you're caught in extended fights without escape options.
How to Trade
- Your optimal pattern is Q poke when he goes for CS, then use E when he tries to Q engage to block damage and follow with W-Q combo.
- Keep trades short and use your range advantage to avoid his E spin damage.
Wave Control
- You want to maintain slow pushes or neutral waves to maximize Q poke opportunities while staying safe from ganks.
- Avoid hard shoving unless you can roam, as Garen will gladly farm under tower and scale.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E defensively against his Q unless he's committing to an all-in, as the cooldown leaves you vulnerable to follow-up trades.
- Never stay in lane below 30% HP post-6 due to his R execute threat combined with Q-E combo.
