Youmuu's, Guardian Angel, Infinity Edge.

Irelia is Triforce, Guardian Angel, Wit's End.

Riven is Bloodthirster, Guardian Angel, Last Whisper/Bloodthirster.

Do you see the pattern here? Guardian Angel is a cure-all defensive item. This is generally how tanky DPS characters are meant to be built now. Especially on Garen, with the new Courage, GA is great.

If you manage to make it to late game, you can add another defensive item to this, or Last Whisper.

Infinity Edge doesn't work on Garen without another crit item, and there's no way in hell I'd build anything other than Youmuu's, and if I'm doing that, I build Youmuu's first because it makes him snowball like a beast.
