Champion Build Guide
I Won't be updating as frequently as it used to.
Guide text won't be updated any time soon either, so make sure you use atleast a couple of braincells while reading.
Hi, my name is Lulu and I'm trash at this game.
This guide doesn't focus so much on how to play
Garen.
It assumes you know how he works, if you don't know how
Garen works then I recommend you go read FSat and Laoshin3v3's guides here on Mobafire.
Instead I'm going focus on how to build
Garen like which Items are efficient, when to/or not to buy Armor/Magic Resist and Keystone/Rune picks and give less popular/uncommon viewangles on different stuff to hopefully help you find the playstyle that suits you the most.
Keep in mind though that the guide has still a long way go and is far from done.

Pre-season changes
[*] Pre-season changes that affects Titan Garen?
You no longer have autoattack reset with
Titanic Hydra.
You now gain base damage when autoattacking with
Trinity Force
[*] Is the build still viable?
The build will work but not in the way it used to which was AA>Q>
Titanic Hydra.
It will be strong at splitpushing still though, that's what might save it. I need to play a lot more games before I decide if it should be the main build focus for this guide or if I'm going to swap it to Goredrinker Garen

✦ ![]() Excellent keystone, Free AD and sustain just by using ![]() |
✦ ![]() Excellent keystone against high mobility champions or when you need to get out of trades ASAP against ![]() |
✦ ![]() Excellent keystone. Provides you with sustain, damage and 5 bonus health every successful proc on enemy champions. |
✦ ![]() Great keystone. Grants you movement speed and damage on use. It also allows you to roam to mid or help your jungler much faster. |
✦ ![]() Good substitute for ![]() ![]() |
✦ ![]() Good keystone. Gives you a significant burst increase, which is good when playing against bruisers that can tower dive you easily. The damage from our ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
* Note: The way I rank runes goes like this: Excellent > Great > Good > OK > Meh > Bad
|
This is how I optimize my builds for Bruisers/Off-tanks.
I'm trying to get that sweetspot for Armor/Magic Resist, which is atleast 150 AR/MR minimum.

Items | Build #1: Titan Garen (NOT UPDATED YET)
This build is played a bit differently compared to the traditional build. You want to use your Titanic Hydra active as your second autoattack reset, which means you're going to combo like this:
Basic/Auto Attack >
Decisive Strike >
Titanic Hydra
Stats at lvl 18 & full build
Basic/Auto Attack >

Titanic Hydra Essential for this build. ![]() |
![]() |
Trinity Force Tons of Damage and Movement Speed. ![]() Alternative: ![]() |
