Guide to Countering Garen as Vayne

Tips for Playing as Vayne against Garen

Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.

Tumble has many uses, but it cannot pass over walls.

Condemn can be used to both pin targets to walls to ensure a kill, or to escape a pursuer.

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.
