Garen

The trade combo is Q (Decisive Strike, silence) → E (Judgment, spin) → back off. The silence prevents the enemy from retaliating with abilities.

Your passive (Perseverance) regenerates massively out of combat — after a trade, back off and let yourself heal before re-trading.

Activate W (Courage) just before taking damage: the first 0.75s give a shield + 60% damage reduction.

Your R (Demacian Justice) deals magic execution damage — it's most effective on low-HP targets. Don't use it as an opener.

E deals more damage when hitting a single target (isolated spin) — try to spin on the champion alone, not in the minion wave.

Harass him constantly to prevent his passive regeneration from activating — each tick of damage resets the timer.

Ranged champions have a big advantage: Garen has no gap-closer except Q (speed boost), kite him by walking back.

His W has a very short window of massive reduction (0.75s) — bait it with a small ability before sending your real burst.

Respect his R kill zone: below 30-35% HP, Garen can one-shot you with R. Recall rather than staying in lane.
