Garen Build Guide
Garen remains a top lane staple, sitting at a strong 51.8% winrate with an 8.11% pickrate in current ranked data for patch 16.13.1. His spin-to-win playstyle rewards players who commit hard to trades and let Conqueror stack up the sustain.
The core build of Stridebreaker, Phantom Dancer, and Mortal Reminder gives him mobility, attack speed, and the grievous wounds needed to shut down enemy healing. Skill priority runs E, then Q, then W, keeping Judgment online for both damage and wave clear. The full runes, item timing, and counter picks are detailed on the page below.
