Guide to Countering Elise as Garen

Tips for Playing as Garen against Elise

Garen is only constrained by cooldowns, making items such as Black Cleaver very effective for him.

Garen's regeneration greatly increases if he can avoid receiving damage for several seconds.

Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. For effective trading, try to position such that only the enemy champion is hit.

Advice to Win Against Elise

Rappel has a long cooldown. Elise is vulnerable after she has used it.

Elise's Spider Form is more dangerous when you are at low health, and her Human Form more potent when you are at high health.

Rappel will only move Elise straight up and down unless she can descend upon an enemy unit.
