 | Garen - the Might of DemaciaPrimary: Fighter / Secondary: Tank Throughout Valoran, the resolve of Demacia's military is alternately celebrated or despised, but always respected. Their ''zero tolerance'' moral code is strictly upheld by civilians and soldiers alike. In combat, this means Demacian troops may not make excuses, flee, or surrender under any circumstance. These principles are espoused to their forces by unrivaled demagogues who lead by example. Garen, the valiant warrior who bears the title ''the Might of Demacia'', is the paradigm to which these leaders are compared. Thousands of great heroes have risen and fallen on the bloody battlefields between Demacia and its preeminent rival, Noxus. It was beneath their mighty banners of war that Garen first met steel with Katarina, the Sinister Blade. The infantrymen who beheld this event (and survived) commented that it seemed as though the two were locked in a mortal waltz against a symphony of clashing blades. Cost: 450 IP or 260 RP |

★ General Strategy
✔ Playing as
- Garen's regeneration greatly increases if he can avoid receiving damage for several seconds.
- Courage increases the effectivess of defensive items. Be sure to itemize appropriately against your opponents damage types.
- Garen is only constrained by cooldowns, making items such as Youmuu's Ghostblade and Brutalizer very effective for him.
✗ Playing against
- Stack armor items to lower the large amount of physical damage that Garen deals out.
- Try to run away from Garen as your health gets lower, as he can execute you quickly with Demacian Justice.
- Be careful about attacking Garen in brush. It often will lead to taking full damage from Judgment.
