When Basic lane trade: close in, land the empowered silence basic attack, add Judgment damage, then back off

1. QEngage→
2. AutoEmpowered silence→
3. ESpin, disengage

Tip Activate Q and land its empowered next basic attack first for the silence and bonus damage. Garen cannot basic attack during E's spin, so opening with E can waste the loaded silence; use the silence window to keep E on target, then leave with the movement speed.

When Full all-in when ahead or with a gank: empowered basic attack into spin, Courage to survive, then execute

1. QEngage→
2. AutoEmpowered silence→
3. ESpin→
4. WDamage reduction→
5. RFinisher

Tip Save Courage until Garen begins taking meaningful damage or crowd control rather than activating it at the start of the engage. This timing makes full use of its 4-second damage reduction.

When Flashing into range to finish a fleeing low-health target

1. FlashClose gap→
2. RFinisher

Tip R deals more damage as the target loses health, so cast it only when the displayed damage is lethal. Flash is committed after confirming that R will be in range and strong enough to finish the target.

When Ending E early to resume basic attacks, then using Q's silence and movement speed to disengage

1. ESpin start→
2. EEarly end→
3. QEngage→
4. AutoEmpowered silence

Tip Judgment can only be recast 1 second after casting and it does not refund cooldown — the point of ending early is to stop the spin so Garen can use the empowered basic attack.
