Guide to Synergizing Samira and Garen

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.

Is Samira better when played alongside Garen?

By locking into the same side as Samira, he decreases their win rate by -2.4% to 46.3%. This demonstrates that there is a negative bond between Samira and Garen that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Garen has a lower difficulty than Samira. That means Samira players don't need to be cautious when arranging Garen comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these champions should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Conversely, by bringing Samira and Garen together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates a lot of AP. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that offsets this disparity in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Garen teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
