Who Wins
- You win most trades pre-6 through superior range, poke, and kiting potential with Q and E harass.
- Post-6, you lose all-ins if Garen successfully engages, but you can still win through proper spacing and using R to zone him away from extended fights.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern is Q+E poke when Garen approaches minions, then use W to disengage when he activates Q.
- Maintain heat management around 50-80 to maximize damage without overheating during crucial trades.
Wave Control
- Establish a slow push early then look to freeze the wave on your side to deny Garen farm and force him to overextend for CS.
- Use your range advantage to maintain wave control while poking him down whenever he steps up.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't let Garen get free Q+E trades by standing too close to the minion wave without your W available.
- Avoid overheating during trades as the silence leaves you completely vulnerable to his all-in potential with no escape tools.
