Darius
Darius is a well known counter to Garen. He wins all the trades with ease and his passive counters yours. Play defensive, ask for jungle assistance or Ban him





Yuumi
She should get over your shoulder every teamfight. Garen can do a lot much during the midgame when he is at his peak with the cat´s help.


Champion Build Guide
INTRODUCTION
Hi there! My name is Ulises and im a
Garen Main since season 7! I´been playing Top Lane in LoL since 2016, with different accounts and long breaks
This is made for new players, so they can pick Garen, read this guide and be ready to start playing in the top lane! But everyone can learn something new from this, give tips, etc...
The Guide is currently on progress, and i expect to update it at least twice per week until i manage to finish it with all the chapters and explanations i can give
I hope everybody who spend time here will leave with new knowledge from our favourite fidget spinne. As we all know, Garen is a very good pick for low Elo(Iron-Platinum) and is a very nice champ to Main. He is rather popular and hated tho, so chances are a lot of times he is going to get picked or banned by the enemy team, thus i suggest to learn other champs you like in order to have an ace up your sleeve.
Also dont get discouraged if someone mock on you for playing Garen. He is considered a NoobChamp, but that is something stupid i want to cover in the next chapters.
Stay tuned for new updates!

A Bruiser is a kind of Champion that mixes the characteristics of both AD Carry and a Tank. They are very flex champs that can play around a more Aggressive role, but can also work as a secondary Frontline. They build items with Damage, Health and Armor/MR, becoming tanky while being able to deal some damage. Also they are usually AD CAsters, wich mean that they playstyle is oriented towards Skills rather than Auto-Attacks.
As you can see,

Now relating to the term NoobChamp i would like to put it clear. There is not such thing in LoL. Yes, of course there are certain Champions better suited for new players, and there are others that requires much more mechanical play to do good with, but there is no Champ that you pick and instantly Win, mainly because what matters the most in League is MacroGame(aka Objectives).

PERSEVERANCE (PASSIVE):![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() |

DECISIVE STRIKE (Q):![]() Now this skill is key in Garen´s Kit, and may be hard to understand to any newcomer to the Game. First of all, ![]() ![]() |
![]() |

COURAGE (W):This Skill is divided in two parts, one is a Passiveeffect and the other is an Activeeffect. Its Passive starts stacking since the beginning,gaining 1 stack for each UNIT killed. Each stack grants permanent 0.25 Armor/Magic Resistance. At 120 Stacks(30 of each Armor/MR) ![]() ![]() The Second Part, the Active Skill reduces incoming damage by flat 30% during 2 to 5 seconds depending on the Level of the Ability. Also, for the first 0.75 seconds, he will gain a buff of Tenacity(60%) and a Shield that scales with our Maximun Health. This Ability is key for ![]() |
![]() |

JUDGMENT (E): Main Ability and the re***on why people mocks on ![]() ![]() → ![]() → ![]() → The Damage is increased by 50% against Non-Epic Monsters → ![]() → If you hit the same Champ 6 times while spinning, he will get his Armor reduced by 25%. Nice for dealing damage to the Enemy Tank → You can Early Cancel the skill by pressing it again. You can use this to execute a target with your Ult rather than risking for an enemy ![]() |
![]() |

DEMACIAN JUSTICE (ULTIMATE):Point an Click Ability, click on an enemy Champion in the area around you, gaining True Sight of Him( No Escape) then after a brief cast, a Big Fokin Sword fells from the Sky landing on his head, dealing True Damage depending on the level of the Ability + a percentage of the Target missing Health. If you time it well, this is one of the best Executes that arent True Executes. This allows you to win almost any 1v1, so level 6 is a huge Power Spike for ![]() |
So, here i will speak a bit about your possible Combos
