Guide to Synergizing Garen and Sivir

Tips for Playing as Garen with Sivir

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 Sivir Will Play

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.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Sivir.

Is Garen better when played alongside Sivir?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Garen that will no matter what be his ideal synergy. However, Sivir is a very bad companion for Garen. By being on the same team as Garen, she lowers their win rate by -4.0% to 44.7%. This shows that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Garen and Sivir that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Sivir has a lower difficulty than Garen. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Sivir teammates to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

In contrast, by aligning Garen and Sivir together, you may not be giving your team a great deal of AP. Make sure to have other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Sivir ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
