Guide to Synergizing Dr. Mundo and Garen

Tips for Playing as Dr. Mundo with Garen

Cleavers are a powerful tool for killing neutral monsters. Instead of returning to base, farm neutral monsters until your ultimate can heal you.

A well-timed Sadism can bait enemy champions into attacking you even when they lack the damage to finish you.

Spirit Visage will increase the healing done by your ultimate and lower cooldowns on all of your abilities.

Advice to Understand How Garen Will Play

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.
