Guide to Synergizing Vex and Garen

Advice to Understand How Garen Will Play

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.

By playing on the same team as Vex, he increases their win rate by 0.4% to 49.2%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Vex and Garen that results in them performing stronger together than alone.

Garen has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means you must be very careful when enlisting Garen allies to play with, as they will need a much higher level of skill to be able to fight well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Vex players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. When paired, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
