Guide to Synergizing Garen and Elise

Tips for Playing as Garen with Elise

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.

Advice to Understand How Elise Will Play

Spider Form is most effective at finishing off enemies with low health; Human Form's Neurotoxin does more damage to healthy foes.

Elise's Spider Form and Spider Form abilities do not cost mana and can be prioritized when you are trying to conserve mana.

When in Spider Form, Spiderlings will attack the target that Elise uses Venomous Bite on.

Overall, Garen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Elise. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Elise helps Garen perform poorer in ranked League rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

This difference could signal that Elise doesn't help cover for him to deal more damage or that her support also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Garen is played alongside Elise on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Elise. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Elise.

Additionally, when Garen plays with Elise on the same side, he usually receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Elise does a decent job of protecting Garen in team fights.

Is Garen better when played alongside Elise?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Garen that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. However, overall, Elise is a very bad teammate for Garen. By locking into the same team as Garen, she lowers their win rate by -3.6% to 45.1%. This clearly indicates that there is a terrible synergy between Garen and Elise that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Elise has a much greater difficulty compared to Garen. That means you must be careful when arranging Elise comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much higher level of skill to cooperate well with you.

When playing together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by grouping Garen and Elise together, you may not be providing your other allies a lot of support. Plan to bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Elise ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
