Introduction

Hello, and welcome to my new build. I'm not level 30 yet, so I have not actually had the opportunity to completely try this build out, but at my level (currently 24 whilst I am writing this), I find this build to be very useful in both 3v3 and 5v5 games. I have recently been playing this build, and I myself have found that I can get a large amount of kills, help the friendly champions push lanes, and also dole out some nice harassment.
PROS:
+ Early Game is great
+ Can scare the **** outta people earlier on
+ Ultimate is a great tool for finishing people off
+ Has a silence
+ Has a damage reduction shield for 3 seconds
+ Mid Game is still great
+ Has a good amount of Armour and Health to survive
CONS:
- Evens out Late Game, making it harder to help your team out
- Compared to other Champions, his CDs are still rather high

Greater Mark of Desolation - I use this for the nice bit of Armor Penetration that Garen will need.
Greater Seal of Critical Chance - Having Crit. Chance with Garen is amazing, as his damage is very enjoyable late game, and it is beneficial that you get some crits to get that extra chunk of damage.
Greater Glyph of Critical Damage - Because of the
Greater Seal of Critical Chance, you'll want to have some Critical Damage increase to go along with it.
Greater Quintessence of Desolation - Large amount of Armor Penetration; backs up the Greater Mark of Desolation.

Ah, such a wonderful Summoner spell we have here. We all know its uses. Use this when a person is trying to run away, but don't use it when they've got too much health. Thinking about your


Flash is a really useful spell; both for diving in and running away. If you're exhausted, or have a slow, use




Alternatives

Ignite is a wonderful spell, especially later on. It is best used when you've either got a few DoTs (Damage over Time spells) on the enemy champion, or when they've got that last chunk of health, and you've ran out of mana. At a higher level, it is still extremely useful for getting that last bit of damage down.






These items allow you to have both Attack Damage, Health, and a large amount of Armour. I will go on to explain the significance of each item.






Frozen Mallet] - The Health, the Attack Damage, and the Slow will help Garen get that [[Judgment to chop the enemy's health down.


Randuin's Oment - Great Armour, Health and Health Regeneration/5 seconds, and it's Passive make it a great last item, to help make Garen either indestructible or make him a Juggernaut.
E - W - Q - R (if necessary, otherwise rinse and repeat)
First off, it'll be







Early Game
Earlier on, Garen is amazing. He'll be able to deal plenty of damage to the enemy Champions, and while he's not in combat, he regenerates his health. Make sure you grab
Judgment first, as that's your main DPS skill. Once you get enough for your
Ninja Tabi, go back and grab them. Remembering the skill sequence above will help you to effectively use Garen.
Remember to continuously hide in the edge of the bushes towards the enemy Champions, and when they come running in, cast
Judgment to shave a handsome chunk of their health off. If you have an ally Champion that can slow, it can pretty well guarantee a kill; depending on the enemy Champion/s you're against. If you've been lucky enough, you should have your
Youmuu's Ghostblade by now, and should be preparing for
Sunfire Aegis.
Mid Game
Garen is still very effective Mid Game. Keep pushing towers and farming at the same time, so that you can grab
Sunfire Aegis and
Frozen Mallet. Feel free to turret dive if they have a sufficient amount of health, but don't do it too recklessly.
Late Game
This is where Garen isn't as useful as he is Early and Mid Game. He deals less damage than most champions Late Game do, but he's still a very vital part of the team. Having your Infinity Blade Late Game will seriously boost your damage, making you a Juggernaut. But when you initiate, do not be too reckless; remember, you're not a Tank. Cast
Decisive Strike on the most dangerous enemy Champion, before casting [Decisive Strike]] and
Judgment. Do not focus their tank first either; focus the squishiest Champion they've got. And remember to aim your
Demacian Justice at the RIGHT person! It sucks when you hit someone you didn't want to, say a Tank. If you've got your
Randuin's Omen, it's either a Rage Quit, or GG.

All in all, Garen is a good champion, and easy to learn. He does not require much talent, as he's pretty OP. Being a Hybrid helps your survival, and helps to kill plenty of enemy Champions. So long as you're taking charge and also being careful at the same time, you should be able to rack up plenty of kills while helping your allies at the same time.
Scores will come soon enough; have been playing a bunch of champions, but I'll get a summary of five games with Garen.
This build is also not only my own, but I was also helped by blooptron and Durpy Durp Durp, who have much more experience than me.
