In Nexus Blitz you are able to pick a champion for yourself and one champion to ban the enemy team from picking. Good bans include those who do a lot of AOE damage such as Katarina and Miss Fortune. On the other hand, try to pick Champions that excel in AOE because you will be in team-fights almost constantly. A good choice for beginners may be Garen , who gets stronger with each fight. Each team also requires two junglers, but the laning/jungling phase is incredibly short so Champions are still best picked in regards to their fighting ability. The laning phase is short because of the map's design and also because of the mini-game events every few minutes. Unlike the classic three-lane map in Summoner's Rift, Nexus Blitz's map is horizontal and only has a middle and bot lane with the top dedicated to jungling. The map is also pretty tight which puts players in close proximity with the enemy. When most players are getting level 5 or 6, the countdown to the first mini-MOBA Game Advanced Tactics will start and the game begins to devolve into constant team-fighting chaos.

Garen's ability, Courage, is both his second active and second passive ability. The passive ability is a permanent buff granted to Garen for slaying enemies. For every unit killed by Garen, his armor and magic resistance increase by 0.25 points until he reaches a total of 30 points. Once at 30 points (or stacks) Garen will gain an additional 10% increase to both his armor and magic resistance stats. Courage's active protects Garen by reducing all incoming damage by 30% for a few seconds and during the first 0.75 seconds of the ability being active, Garen is also granted a bonus shield and 60% Tenacity.
