Guide to Countering Garen as Wukong

Tips for Playing as Wukong against Garen

Decoy and Nimbus Strike work well together to quickly strike your enemy and get out before they can retaliate.

Try using Decoy near brush to make an enemy overreact to your movement.

Advice to Win Against Garen

Be careful about attacking Garen in brush. It often will lead to taking full damage from Judgment.

Stack armor items to lower the large amount of physical damage that Garen deals out.

Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. If getting out of its radius isn't possible, move through allied minions to reduce damage taken.

Try to run away from Garen as your health gets lower, as he can execute you quickly with Demacian Justice.
