Riot supplies this champion's identity, text, and abilities. MacroDiff has not published a curated analysis layer for it yet, so roles and signals below are inferred from Riot's archetype data.

KIT READ

Abilities

Ability text as Riot writes it, in both languages.

Q

Decisive Strike

Garen gains a burst of Move Speed, breaking free of all slows affecting him. His next attack strikes a vital area of his foe, dealing bonus damage and silencing them.

W

Courage

Garen passively increases his Armor and Magic Resist by killing enemies. He may also activate this ability to give him a shield and tenacity for a brief moment followed by a lesser amount of damage reduction for a longer duration.

E

Judgment

Garen rapidly spins his sword around his body, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies.

R

Demacian Justice

Garen calls upon the might of Demacia to attempt to execute an enemy champion.
