My latest stuff for Garen is the following : (I have been playing Garen for a looooooooong time, and i never fail at solo top unless i face cait.) Believe me or not, it makes garen viable and even very effective in late game and late mid, though it makes him a bit weaker early game, as I sacrifice ArPen.)

So, here's my build :

- For Runes i take flat AD red, flat armor yellow, MR/lvl blue, and AD/lvl Quints. -Masteries 21/9/0 (take extra damages on creeps to help early W farming, the 10 extra damage to towers, and DO NOT TAKE lifesteal and flat arpen, as we do not want flat arpen. Of course, take CDR and magic pen).

- Start with armor + 5 pots or boots + 3 pots (depending on who you're facing). Rush ninja tabi (i do not take mercurys because the remade tabi is gonna kick ass and i need to practice with it. though mercurys is an excellent choice too). - Then Aegis of the legion, then last whisper, infinity edge, Frozen Mallet and Atma's. The order depends on what you need first, but always take aegis as your first item after boots, as it gives you everything you need.

Last whisper is your main source of DPS, and it is the reason why I do not recommend flat arpen, as it is far more efficient if you have none. This build gives you extreme DPS, very nice tanking ability, and a slow for your Q and AA. The cons are : no CC reduc if you take Tabi, and weak early game compared to traditional garen build.
