Tips Against Garen in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Azzin says “Garen is really hard to kill and i tend to recommend playing like a tank matchup, you shove wave and try to impact the map before he can scale”
asuratop1 says “Ritmo Fatal ou Conquistador + Escudo + Tp (Ignite é viavel em qualquer elo, você tem que ter flash.) Basicamente é uma lane em que se você cometer um passo em falso, vai tomar um true damage MASSIVAMENTE INJUSTO e morrer que nem merda. Normalmente o Garen vai givar a pressão LV1 por você ter ritmo fatal, caso você for de qualquer outra runa, provavelmente ele vai te ignorar, dar o E na wave e pegar a pressão. Depois disso, vai jogar esperando se curar o dano que você causou nele com a passiva, caso isso não aconteça, garanta a pressão da lane e visão na jungle inimiga. Sempre olhe para lutar em dois tempos, o W do garen tem 22s de cd LV1, o seu E tem 17s LV1, use isso ao seu favor, é o principal gatilho pra iniciar uma luta. A principal fonte de dano do Garen pre-6 é o E dele, tente usar o seu E pra mitigar 25% do dano dessa skill, o tempo de ativação das duas skills é parecida. Pós 6, você tem que entender que você tem em média, 400 de hp a menos que o Garen, sabendo que ele vai ter IGNITE+R e te dar one shot em algum momento. Ficar com menos de 60% do hp nessa matchup pode ser fatal, tente se manter saudável e jogue sempre em dois tempos, nessas situações o Conquistador sempre vai ser melhor, mas na situação de all-win, o Ritmo Fatal se supera. Na side-lane, é simples, você tem vantagem se jogar na brecha dos cooldowns do Garen, sempre no all-win pra não dar chance das skills deles voltarem (Ritmo Fatal entra melhor nessa situação). A melhor build possível contra Garen na side: Trinity, Céu, Sterak. Se o garen estiver de impeto: Trinity, Quebrapassos, Sterak.”
saikoujya says “Can dodge Q with E and then go in for good trade. Can buffer W to shield against Q+E damage. Easy with good spacing.”
zwartebliksem says “Garen is very easily zoned, since he doesn't have any reliable engage. Look for an early T1 or even T2 boots if possible for the movement speed. The only way for Garen to kill you, is when he runs you down. His Q will cleanse your E slow, which makes it a matter of spacing until he uses his Q. Once he uses his Q and your E is still up, he should never be able to get onto you. This changes on his stridebreaker purchase, this is when you should start looking for short Q's and always be aware of where the garen is. Once you get ahead, he shouldn't be able to kill you at all.”

m0rzan says “his matchup is Garen favored post 6 so the best u can do is abuse the first 5 levels, lvl 1 you want to fight him in wave with e to stack the dmg of the ability and then get prio if he dares to walk up every time just jump on him auto with e stun disengage, after lvl 6 don't ever all in him unless u legit have 50% hp advantage all u have to do is perma short trade him until u get him low enoughn to be all inned. At 2-3 items he will just one tap u from full hp if you're even. I advise Conqueror with Dblade Start. ”

ExiledRain says “Power level: Counts as Riven counter,but you can beat him early stages of the game but as game progresses he can one tap you :D or be super annoyng in fights (if goes full dmg) Game plan: Most garens have no plans on how to deal with Riven which means you can try abusing this fact.If he starts Q step back to lure him in and try Q backwards one to avoid being hit by it and is runs out fight back.If he starts E let him spin and avoid being hit by it and as it about to run out you go in as he have nothing left. IF by lvl2 hes low you can get W and try bursting him down, otherwise take E, when he gets close you E back his Q and as his spin about to run out, you turn from retrating to atacking,Generally when you trade him few times, try procing his passive with Q3 to keep him from sustain.With this ability to fight early try to get some upper hand with wave management or killing him few times.Then you would need to switch to proxy and looking to kill JG/Other Lanes. Tips: Most Garens would try to use their W shield for your Q3, if you can trick him using W then hes would be without deffensive ability and easier to kill Itemization: Regular eclipse rush is good if you doing well into the lane, if going bad do Black Cleaver rush into Sundered and followed by Deaths Dance.There is world to rush Rav but that would be a bit suicidal. IF you really feel like needing it you can get Steraks Gage...no shame in that ;)”

ValfyNico says “Let him initiate fights 👺, RESPECT his damage, dont let him heal with his passive, try to freeze wave under your tower. 5.5/10 💀”

xumi_k says “Uh, well... The point is, Garen players don't think much while playing. You win pre 6 easily. I never lost to a Garen as Irelia, really... I need to lose this matchup at least once to come up with a strategy, but for now you just Q 3 melee minions, Q him and... that's it? Mind his R does a lot of true damage based on missing health. If you W his spinning or just Q it through minions you win. But he will probably silence you before that. I don't think he can outdamage you before 6, and by the time he reaches 6 you must be ahead in gold and exp. Still, he's better in duels. Your AA also have bigger range, you kill him by just kiting with stacked passive. DEMACIAAAA!!!! (Irelia has a voiceline about it btw haha)”

Dragonlord1022 says “Grasp with Second Wind Sword start -> Swifties -> Tri Hard harass him until he has 6. Garen isn't the one shot monster he was earlier in the year, but if you're 70% hp he will one shot you with q-flash-ignite-e-ult. The window to flash out before the q auto is very small, so once he's 6 play to stay healthy. You can still poke him down, just don't lose hp if you can help it.”

forsakn says “ Levels 1–5: Garen’s early trades with Q (Decisive Strike) + E (Judgment) can deal a lot if you’re caught out. If he tries to all-in and you don’t want to fight, use Q + W to poke and disengage safely. Wave control: He pushes naturally with E. Let him shove and farm under tower where he can’t run you down as easily. Trading: Auto + E poke works well. Avoid extended trades since his passive regen and execute threat make him hard to whittle down early. Post-6: His R (Demacian Justice) gives him execute power, making him dangerous if you’re low HP. Respect his all-ins. Summoner Spells: Flash + Teleport is standard. Exhaust is recommended to weaken his all-in potential. Scaling: You scale better for teamfights. As long as you avoid feeding him early kills, you’ll outdamage and kite him later. Garen top is strong early with silence + spin. Respect his all-ins, use Q + W to disengage if needed, farm safely, and by midgame you shred him with range.”
