Garen is a champion in League of Legends.[1]

Abilities[]

Edit

Perseverance

Perseverance

Innate: Garen Health regeneration icon regenerates「 1.5% − 10.1% (based on level) of his Health icon maximum health every 5 seconds. 」「 0.15% − 1.01% (based on level) of his Health icon maximum health every 0.5 seconds. 」

Perseverance is lost for 8 seconds if Garen takes damage from epic Monster icon monsters, Turret icon turrets, or Champion icon champions, or if he is hit by an enemy ability or affected by an enemy summoner spell, refreshing on subsequent damage and hits taken from them.

Info
  • Perseverance does not go on nor refresh its cooldown from damage which was fully prevented by a Hybrid resistances icon shield or Cosmic Radiance invulnerability.

Edit

Decisive Strike

Decisive Strike

Active: Garen Remove Scurvy cleanses himself of all Slow icon slows and gains Movement speed icon 35% bonus movement speed for a duration.

Movement Speed Duration:
1 / 1.65 / 2.3 / 2.95 / 3.6

Additionally, Garen empowers his next basic attack within 4.5 seconds to have an Relentless Force 2 uncancellable windup, Bear Stance lunge at the target, deal bonus physical damage, and Silence icon silence them for 1.5 seconds.

Bonus Physical Damage:
30 / 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 (+ 50% AD)

Decisive Strike Bladework resets Garen's basic attack timer.

Info
  • The enhanced attack will apply other on-hit effects and can Critical strike icon critically strike as normal (the bonus damage does not).
    • The bonus damage will also apply Life steal icon life steal.
    • The bonus damage is applied to structures.
  • Decisive Strike locks Garen out of using basic attacks for a short period of time. This is shortened with Attack speed icon attack speed.
  • The enhanced attack will still complete and hit the target even if they become Untargetable icon untargetable during the attack's windup.
  • Decisive Strike will not prevent the reapplication of Slow icon slows (e.g. the persistent slow from Pillar of Ice Pillar of Ice will be immediately reapplied after removal if Garen is still within its area of effect).
  • Spell Shield Spell shield will only negate the Silence icon silence.
  • Decisive Strike's Bear Stance lunge can pass very thin terrain and will otherwise not be able to. In any case, Garen will still hit his target.

Edit

Courage

Passive: Whenever Garen kills an enemy, he generates a stack of Courage, stacking up to 150 times.

Courage: For each stack, Garen gains Armor icon 0.2 bonus armor and Magic resistance icon 0.2 bonus magic resistance, up to a maximum of 30 bonus resistances each. After reaching maximum stacks, Garen gains 10% bonus armor and 10% bonus magic resistance.

Courage

Active: Garen reduces incoming damage by 30% for 4 seconds. For the first 0.75 seconds, Garen additionally grants himself a Hybrid resistances icon shield and 60% Tenacity icon tenacity.

Shield Strength:
65 / 85 / 105 / 125 / 145 (+ 18% bonus health)

Info
  • Courage's bonus resistances are only gained when it is ranked up at least once, but Courage's passive is retroactive for units killed before it was learned.
  • Courage's bonus resistances can be obtained by any of Garen's damage sources (basic attacks, abilities, summoner spells, runes, item actives).
    • This does not include last hits transferred to Garen artificially.
  • The kills on these enemy unit types count towards Courage's bonus resistances:
  • The kills on these enemy unit types do not count towards Courage's bonus resistances:
  • Courage will only grant bonus resistances from units killed by Garen himself. Eye of the Herald Eye of the Herald does not count.
  • The Tenacity icon Tenacity increase Additive stacking icon stacks additively with the tenacity reduction from Brittle icon Brittle, but multiplicatively with other sources.

Map-Specific Differences
Howling Abyss icon Howling Abyss differences edit
  • Bonus resistances on-kill changed to 0.5. Number of enemy kills needed to reach the maximum amount changed to 60.
Arena icon Arena differences edit
  • New Effect: Gains 18.75 Courage stacks per round.

Edit

Judgment

Judgment

Active: Garen rapidly spins his sword around himself 7 (+ 1 per 25% bonus attack speed) times over 3 seconds, becoming Ghost ghosted and unable to basic attack and dealing physical damage to nearby enemies periodically. Judgment can be recast after 1 second for its duration, and does so automatically after it ends.

Physical Damage Per Spin:
4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 (+ 0 − 8.2 (based on level)) (+ 36 / 37 / 38 / 39 / 40% AD)

Enemy champions hit 6 times by Judgment are inflicted with Armor penetration icon 25% armor reduction for 6 seconds, with the duration refreshing upon the 7th hit and every 6th hit thereafter.

Judgment 3

Judgment deals 25% increased damage against the nearest enemy hit.

Increased Damage Per Spin:
5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (+ 0 − 10.25 (based on level)) (+ 45 / 46.25 / 47.5 / 48.75 / 50% AD)
Judgment 2

Recast: Garen ends Judgment prematurely, reducing its Cooldown icon cooldown by its remaining duration.

Judgment can Critical strike icon critically strike for (75% + 40% 40%) bonus physical damage. Additionally, Judgment deals 150% damage against Monster icon monsters.

Info
  • The initial casts count as an ability activation for the purposes of on-cast effects such as Sheen item Spellblade and triggering Force Pulse's Force Pulse's passive.
    • Deactivating the ability manually does not.
  • Each spin triggers a stack of Conqueror Conqueror.
  • For the purpose of moving closer to an enemy when right clicking them, Judgment also reduces Garen's Range icon attack range 「 to 100 」「 by 75 」 for the duration.
  • Judgment cancels Garen's last movement command upon ending.
  • Each spin deals damage simultaneously to all enemies within its range when the spin is completed.
  • The spin animation is capped at once per 0.2 seconds, but the amount of ticks will keep on scaling.
  • The armor reduction stacks multiplicatively with other percentage armor penetration effects.

    Demacian Justice

    Demacian Justice

    Active: Garen calls upon the might of Demacia onto the target enemy Champion icon champion, dealing them Hybrid penetration icon true damage as well as True Sight icon revealing them for 1 second at the start of the cast time.

    True Damage:
    150 / 300 / 450 (+ 25 / 30 / 35% of target's missing health)
    ▶️   "For the cause!"

    Info
    • The target will die if they're at least under 20 / 23.08 / 25.93% maximum health + 120 / 230.77 / 333.33 flat health on top of that. This does not count effects that mitigate true damage, such as Hybrid resistances icon shields.
    • If the target becomes Untargetable icon untargetable, Death dies, or is too far away or no longer in Sight icon sight during the cast time, this ability will cancel but does not go on Cooldown icon cooldown nor pay its cost (if applicable).
