How to play it

✓

Save Q for her slow

Don't Q until she casts Radiant Blast: Garen Q cleanses the slow, but only if you hold it, else she kites you with Lethal Tempo.

✓

Punish levels 1-5

All-in early with short Q pokes: go for a kill or force her Teleport before she starts outranging you at 6.

✓

Outscale at 11

Farm to Stridebreaker and you outscale her 1v1 around level 11, as long as you're not too far behind on XP or CS.

✕

Never get pulled into an extended trade: she stacks Lethal Tempo and you'll bleed too much HP and CS.
