Anivia vs Garen

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Use waveclear and zoning to deny Garen free farm and punish his short trades.
Manage cooldowns to avoid Garen's silence and execute threat before level 6.
Control lane tempo to scale safely into teamfights with strong zone denial.

Trading pattern

Combo (Q) with (W) terrain to trap and stun, then follow with (E) for burst.
Punish Garen immediately after his (Q) silence ends to exploit his cooldown.
Avoid trading without (Q) ready or after missing it to prevent all-in punishments.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) silence and (E) spin combo as his main all-in threat.
Avoid being caught without flash due to limited escape options.
Be cautious after missing (Q) stun, as Garen can quickly punish your cooldown.

Early game

Crash waves early to keep lane on your side and punish Garen stepping up.
Position behind minions to reduce risk from Garen's short silence trades.
Avoid extended trades before 6 to minimize execute and silence danger.

Power spikes

After 6 and first mana/AP item, freely farm and pressure with (R) zoning.
Respect Garen's level 6 execute window; avoid low-health extended trades.
Punish Garen before his first defensive item and passive reset to maintain advantage.

Win conditions

Deny Garen free farm by crashing waves and zoning with (R) to force him off.
Use (Q) and (W) to set picks and punish his cooldowns, especially post-(Q).
Survive early pressure respecting silence and execute, then scale into teamfights with superior zoning.

Tip: For Anivia vs Garen, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
