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.
Sivir's Boomerang Blade returns to her after reaching the max range, so you can shift position to hit enemies who would otherwise have evaded it.
Try saving Spell Shield for enemy abilities that can disable you such as stuns and roots.
Ricochet resets Sivir's basic attack timer on activation, so activating this immediately after landing a normal basic attack will maximize damage output.

Overall, Garen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Sivir. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

When Garen tries to synergize with Sivir, he observes a small decrease in his full damage output. This may indicate that Sivir does not support by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Garen is played together with Sivir on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Sivir.
Additionally, when Garen plays with Sivir on the same team, he often takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Sivir does a decent job of covering Garen during teamfights.
