Garen, The Might of Demacia, is a melee fighter and tank champion. In fights Garen is a durable champion who deals physical damage over extended fights, with healing in the kit. Here are the augments Garen players take most, the Prismatic items worth grabbing and the core build on patch 26.20.
Gain the Blade Waltz Summoner Spell. Blade Waltz makes you untargetable while you dash at and damage enemies 6 times.
Blade Waltz gives you an untargetable gap closer to dodge key spells and stick to targets, which your kit lacks beyond the speed from Decisive Strike (Q).
Become large, gaining 15% Health and 10% Adaptive Force.
More total health raises the regeneration from Perseverance (passive) when you are not taking damage, and the adaptive force adds damage to every Judgment (E) spin.
Gain the Lethal Tempo and Conqueror Keystone Runes.
Lethal Tempo stacks from your attacks add extra spins to Judgment (E) when you cast it, and Conqueror's adaptive force raises each spin's damage in longer fights.
In game, Hexgate puts a badge under every augment card you are offered, with how often Garen players take it.
