Guide to Synergizing Garen and Vayne

Garen is only constrained by cooldowns, making items such as Black Cleaver very effective for him.

Garen's regeneration greatly increases if he can avoid receiving damage for several seconds.

Judgment deals maximum damage when only hitting a single target. For effective trading, try to position such that only the enemy champion is hit.

Advice to Understand How Vayne Will Play

Don't go in first to a large teamfight. Wait for your teammates to initiate.
