Guide to Synergizing Garen and Pantheon

Tips for Playing as Garen with Pantheon

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 Pantheon Will Play

Mortal Will activates after 5 spells or basic attacks - plan your way through fights to allow you to activate it more than once.

Whittle the enemy down with Comet Spears before you jump in.

If an enemy is going to get out of range of your Aegis Assault, you can recast the spell to immediately fire the shield slam.
