Use Subjugate to soften a powerful enemy tank or to create a target for your team to focus fire.

Trundle excels at fighting within his Frozen Domain. Try to draw enemies onto it.

Chomp is good for lowering the physical damage of enemies; try to focus it on enemy physical damage dealers.

Advice to Win Against Garen
