So, in the early game, focus on farming and don’t be afraid to tread with the enemy whenever they overextend.

In the early game, use your E and Q combo to silence and poke the enemy and your W to escape without taking much damage.

Mid to late game:

Mid to Late Game is the time when Garen shines as when Garena as his first two core items he becomes and very tanky and can shock lots of damage from enemy and at the same time deals massive damage with his attack combos. In the late game, always play with your team as when you play as a garden, you will be the frontline of your team, so don’t hesitate to engage in the team fight when your team is nearby and always try to target enemy team’s AD Carry with your abilities.
