Who Wins
- You lose levels 1-3 due to Garen's Q silence disrupting your ability rotations and his E outdamaging your early trades.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure with R setup, but Garen's W damage reduction makes all-ins risky without significant health advantage.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern involves stacking Q on minions, then E forward for Q3-W-auto combo before snapping back to safety.
- Only commit to extended trades when Garen's Q is on cooldown, as the silence prevents you from using abilities to match his damage.
Wave Control
- Focus on freezing waves near your tower early to avoid Garen's Q-E trades in extended lane positions.
- After level 6, look for slow pushes that crash when you have R available, creating dive opportunities with jungle assistance.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Never use E aggressively when Garen has Q available, as he can silence you during your spirit form and prevent your return snap.
- Avoid trading when Garen's W passive is stacked, as the damage reduction significantly reduces your burst potential.
