• Decisive Strike has no cast time and does not interrupt Garen's previous orders.
  • The on-hit effect and the bonus movement speed are independent (Garen can silence his target and the bonus movement speed will remain, duration permitting)
• The enhanced attack will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal.
• As with most on-hit physical damage, Decisive Strike's bonus damage will apply life steal.
  • It will not interact with critical strikes.
    • It will affect structures.
• Decisive Strike will also remove cripple in case it is inextricably linked with slow within the ability used against Garen.
  • For example, it will remove cripple from Nasus' Wither, but not from Malphite's Ground Slam.
• Decisive Strike will remove slow from Exhaust, but not the damage reduction, for it being two separate effects within one summoner spell.
• Decisive Strike does not protect Garen from re-application of slows on him.
  • Area of effect slows (like Trundle's Pillar of Ice) are re-applied immidiately after removing if Garen stays in the corresponding area.

  • Silencing Garen will prevent him from reactivating it early.
• Garen will benefit from Decisive Strike's slow removal and bonus movement speed while Judgment is active.
  • He will not be able to apply its on-hit silence or bonus damage since he cannot basic attack over Judgment's duration.
• Garen may cast Demacian Justice while Judgment is active but it will stop ticking if so.
• Each spin deals damage simultaneously to all enemies within its range when the spin is completed.
