Garen's first active ability, Decisive Strike, give Garen a short boost in movement speed and physical damage when targeting an enemy with the ability. When Decisive Strike is cast, Garen is freed from all slows afflicting him and his next basic attack will silence the target for 1.5 seconds.

Next, consider purchasing a Dead Man's Plate to have Garen tank up considerably. With Dead Man's Plate, Garen can gain movement speed and attack damage just by moving around and avoiding crowd controlling effects, which is easy to do thanks to Courage and Mercury Tre
