Introduction


All right, some pros and cons about
Garen.
Pros:
- One butt kicking machine early game, thanks to dat OP passive
- If building
Frozen Mallet as first "primary" item, he will be pretty much ownage, since his Q gives him movement speed and the
Frozen Mallet's passive will slow him and you will get the kill fairly easily.
Cons:
- Too dayum sexy.

All right, some of you may look at this guide and think: "What the f*ck is wrong with this guy?", but I have found these ïtems to actually be useful when playing Garen:
Frozen Mallet
First of all, the
Frozen Mallet i have found to be very useful, since with
Decisive Strike you can pretty much get a really OP slow, plus you get the movement speed in the beginning, so you'll have no problem with catching up your opponent. Unless it's
Teemo. Which means you're f*cked.
Warmog's Armor
After the
Frozen Mallet, i have chosen to buy the
Warmog's Armor. Why? Because with your already overpowered passive
Perseverance, you'll get that health regeneration when you have your passive out of cooldown.
Randuin's Omen
Ah, my old friend, the
Randuin's Omen. This item is just so epic. Not only does it give 70 armor (which gets a nice bonus with
Garen's
Courage), but it gives 500 health as well. This item is just so good, that i don't even have words for it. Thank you Riot, eh?
These items are very important for being "OP" with
Garen. ALWAYS BUY THEM.
All right, now for some other items that also can guarantee a fun time with
Garen.
Ravenous Hydra
A new item for Season 3, the
Ravenous Hydra is in my opinion a really great item for
Garen. It's passive is really great, and it's active is even more great with a low cooldown :3. Not only does it give 75 attack damage, but it also gives health regeneration and life steal. An overall great item.
Mercurial Scimitar
Also a new item for Season 3, the
Mercurial Scimitar is also in my opinion a great item for
Garen. It gives magic resistance and attack damage, and with the
Randuin's Omen giving the 70 armor, this item can really "balance" the resistances with
Garen. I almost always pack this or the
Maw of Malmortius with me for the magic resistance. Also a great item.
The Bloodthirster
My old friend. An amazing item, but, and there is always a but, it's kinda useless if you have no attack speed, which a lot of people that play
Garen don't bring, in my opinion. That's why i rarely take this item, but if i decide to ditch the other items and take like a
Zephyr with me instead, then hells yes, i'll take this item. Great item overall, but not so good with
Garen.
The Black Cleaver
Dat Armor Penetration. 'nuff said. It gives pretty much everything you need, however, i find the armor penetration to be the only thing that makes
Black Cleaver worth getting, you could as well get a
Last Whisper to also get some armor penetration, but then again, the
Last Whisper doesn't give the health bonus. I do recommend purchasing it though.
Maw of Malmortius
Kinda similar to the
Mercurial Scimitar but more cheap, and it doesn't come with the passive. If you're not getting alot of gold/getting really underfed then definitely buy this. Overall awesome item as well. (I don't know how to spell "definitely" :D)
