One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
How to play it
- Press early
Graves 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 Death's Dance early.
- Save your dash for CC
Don't dash in — keep it to escape Garen's crowd control.
