Story

Throughout Valoran, the resolve of Demacia's military is alternately celebrated or despised, but always respected. Their ''zero tolerance'' moral code is strictly upheld by civilians and soldiers alike. In combat, this means Demacian troops may not make excuses, flee, or surrender under any circumstance. These principles are espoused to their forces by unrivaled demagogues who lead by example. Garen, the valiant warrior who bears the title ''the Might of Demacia'', is the paradigm to which these leaders are compared. Thousands of great heroes have risen and fallen on the bloody battlefields between Demacia and its preeminent rival, Noxus. It was beneath their mighty banners of war that Garen first met steel with Katarina, the Sinister Blade. The infantrymen who beheld this event (and survived) commented that it seemed as though the two were locked in a mortal waltz against a symphony of clashing blades.

Garen, the pride of the Demacian military and leader of the Dauntless Vanguard, returned from this battle breathless for the first time in his career, though some speculate that this was due to reasons other than exhaustion. The plausibility of these rumors was bolstered when, in every instance thereafter, Garen seized the opportunity to encounter the Sinister Blade again. A paragon of Demacian ethic, Garen never entertained such allegations, for he knew others couldn't understand. Even simply the pursuit of a worthy opponent on the battlefield is, to a true warrior, the reason to rise each morning. The promise of one, particularly so beautifully and diametrically opposed, is the validation of his existence.

Summoner Spells

My two main spells for
When you use your E and they get out of range you can flash at them and still keep your target inside your ability
I LOVE IGNITE!<333 Prevents people from being lucky

If you activate and your Q and you have a homemade ghost but if you feel more comfortable with the spell, it's a great pick for garen.


A very good spell when chasing people, and trust me people will run.

If you choose this one then pick as well so you can quickly teleport back into battle.

Same thing as i wrote above combine it with

Awesome spell that you can use to counter
and diffrent kinds of poison.


I have to admit that i have NEVER used this spell my self but a helping hand is never bad so why not?

If you are tank then many people prefer that you pick this spell

Another spell that i never have used my self but it looks awesome.

A great support spell if you remember to use it (often i forget)

Build him right and you dont need this spell

is a good jungler but i dont recomend you playing him that way. He's better in lanes.
