Yes! That's exactly what I thought about Decisive Strike! I'm glad I'm on the right track. Courage really gives Garen a nice boost and imo shouldn't be ignored.

I now know what my problem has been thanks to you.

Garen has a lot of options, and I've been trying to fit all of these great items into one build. But clearly, you can't do that.

I've been having trouble finding a workable core build, but I like yours. I like your core because it's the same core I've been using. I did the math and Atma's only gets a little more damage with Frozen Mallet than Sunfire Cape and Sunfire costs much less gold, so I really like it.

So basically, the core I want to go with is...

Mercury's Treads, Brutalizer, Sunfire Cape, Atma's Impaler. I like Boots of Swiftness, but I honestly feel naked without Merc Treads.

So, if the enemy team is very tanky, sell Brutalizer and make a Last Whisper?

After this, you just build based on what the enemy team comp is? Force of Nature, Thornmail, Infinity Edge, Youmuu's Ghostblade. Maybe even a Phantom Dancer? Because in very-late game stages his autoattacks will do more damage than Judgment.
