One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
- The table favors you — Vayne is listed as a counter to Garen in this lane.
- From the enemy's side — Garen's page lists Vayne among its hardest matchups.
- Data from another lane — No row for this exact lane — verdict is based on their matchups elsewhere.
- Weaker start — Garen's level-1 stats are higher — no trades before level 3.
How to play it
- Press early
Vayne is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Garen reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Physical resistance
Garen deals physical damage — Death's Dance as your 2nd or 3rd item.
- Long fights
Garen is a tank — build sustained damage and keep hitting; burst won't do it.
When you are in danger
- Full HP or back off
Garen's burst kills from half HP. No trades under 60%, and buy Immortal Shieldbow early.
- Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Garen's crowd control.

How to beat Garen
- Avoid extended trades — his silence + spin win long fights
- Buy Mortal Reminder to cut his Perseverance passive heal
- Punish his low mobility by poking from range
- Play safe before level 5 — R (Demacian Justice) executes under 30% HP
How to play as Vayne
- Hunt tanks — W (Silver Bolts) true damage shreds them on the third hit
- Q (Tumble) to reposition and amp next basic attack
- E (Condemn) stuns on wall — save for divers
