| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Garen | Garen-favoured: his Q silence and regen win the L1 short trades. |
| Level 2 | Garen | Garen-favoured: he heals off your poke and out-trades you early. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill: dodging the Q silence and kiting his spin keeps trades even. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Skill: a landed Q-E chunks you, so spacing decides the window. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Skill: he has no engage, so careful play holds even before your spike. |
| First item | Yone | Yone-favoured: first crit item lets you kite and out-DPS his tank build. |
| Two+ items | Yone | Yone-favoured: late his no mobility lets you shred him and dodge R timing. |
Garen bullies levels 1-2: his Q silences you out of your combo and his regen shrugs off your poke, so trade only when his Q is down and never sit in his E spin.
