Guide to Synergizing Garen and Kayle

Tips for Playing as Garen with Kayle

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 Kayle Will Play

Kayle benefits greatly from Attack Damage and Ability Power, making hybrid items like Nashor's Tooth and Hextech Gunblade very effective on her.

Using Divine Judgment on a high-DPS ally can turn the tides of battle by giving your ally free reign to attack.

Kayle's attacks become incredibly powerful once she gains attack range from Divine Ascent. Play safe until then.

Is Garen better when played alongside Kayle?

There is no perfect ally for Garen that will always be his #1 ally. However, Kayle is a relatively poor ally for Garen. By playing on the same team as Garen, she decreases their win rate by -1.4% to 47.3%. This demonstrates that there is a harmful strategic relationship between Garen and Kayle that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Kayle has a greater difficulty than Garen. That means you should be very careful when finding Kayle allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by pairing Garen and Kayle together, you may not be granting your other teammates a great deal of crowd control. Make sure to include other champs on your team that fills this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the skill of your Kayle ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
