Garen Build Breakdown
Black Cleaver will be a must-have item for Garen. Garen will mostly face champions with a lot of armor, so the armor reduction passive of Black Cleaver is very useful every time he has to face them. Besides, the good thing about this item is that it also gives Garen movement speed. It helps Garen easily approach the enemies with long range attack.
Sterak’s Gage is also an item that I often buy in the second position. The reason is that this item will give a shield when low on health and also resistance to effects. It is very good for a champion who has to play aggressively like Garen.
Dead Man’s Plate is of course besides health and armor, it also gives Garen more speed. Imagine a tank rushing at high speed chasing the enemy, no enemy can stand it.
The next items I will depend on the situation. If you like to push solo, you can buy Hullbreaker. If the enemy team has strong AP, you can buy AMARANTH TWINGUARD. Or Guardian Angel.

PERSEVERANCE
Simply put, just retreat when you reach the dangerous health threshold to avoid damage and heal. This passive is very useful to help Garen stay in the lane longer than other opponents. I always go into the bushes to avoid vision and heal.
DECISIVE STRIKE
This skill has 2 ways to use. One is to attack and chase the enemy. It also helps to counter the dangerous ultimates of some champions. Two is to run away.
COURAGE
A tanky champion like Garen needs this skill. When entering a dangerous area, you need a layer of protection to reduce damage. Courage is a powerful damage reduction skill, which helps Garen be more confident in teamfights and increases his survivability. I will usually use it as soon as I see the enemy trying to attack me.
JUDGMENT
This skill is very annoying and makes any enemy want to stay away. Remember to position Garen so that the edge of the sword touches the enemy for the most damage.
DEMACIAN JUSTICE
This is the ultimate skill and definitely the final move for every combo of Garen. From rushing to attack, spinning continuously to deal damage. And finish off the enemy with the ultimate.
How to play Garen
Basically, Garen is the easiest champion to play among the champions of Wild Rift. I will note a few points below so that you can play Garen well in Wild Rift.
Garen is a type of champion that has a very good ability to heal. Therefore, even if you are attacked a lot in the laning phase, it is normal.
The solution is just to retreat and heal. It is also a way to make the enemy waste a lot of skills on you. The Courage skill used at the right time will help Garen be safe in many situations of being controlled.
Garen can also push solo and take advantage of it to destroy the structures. Take advantage of the ability to rush into the target quickly to approach and catch the enemy.
Always aim for the enemy with low health and then use the ultimate to kill the enemy.
In the early laning phase, I use the Decisive Strike skill quite a lot. I hit normally once and then use Decisive Strike right away and then retreat immediately.
The purpose is to silence the enemy. Do not let them use skills to attack me back. Leading to a better health advantage. Besides, when I go out to the lane, I also use it to increase the running speed.
Decisive Strike can also be used to attack the turret. Usually when I have a better health advantage and the enemy only has half a health bar. You can immediately all-in because you just need a little more damage plus the ultimate and Ignite to surely kill the enemy.
