Garen Build Guide
Garen holds firm as a top lane staple, posting a 51.8% winrate and an 8.11% pickrate in current ranked data on patch 16.13.1. His spin-to-win style pays off for players who fully commit to trades and let Conqueror build up their sustain over time.
Stridebreaker, Phantom Dancer, and Mortal Reminder make up the core build, delivering mobility, attack speed, and the grievous wounds that blunt enemy healing. The recommended skill order is E, Q, then W, with Judgment kept active for both damage and clearing waves. Full rune pages, item timings, and counter picks are covered further down the page.
