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.

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