Aurora vs Garen

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Deny Garen free farm by punishing his short (Q)+(E) trades with your burst combo.
Manage wave near your turret to limit his all-in windows and force him to overextend.
Use mobility and burst to pressure after level 6 and first AP item completion.

Trading pattern

Start trades with (Q), follow with (E) for repositioning and burst, then reactivate (Q).
Punish Garen right after his (Q) silence ends to avoid his follow-up damage.
Avoid using (W) as an escape unless necessary, since it leaves you vulnerable without quick disengage.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) silence plus (E) spin combo during short trades; avoid extended fights.
Avoid forcing trades after he completes his first defensive or bruiser item.
Do not stay low health near Garen post-level 6 to prevent execute kills.

Early game

Farm safely early and punish Garen immediately after he uses (Q) silence.
Hold the wave near your turret to reduce his engage threat and create pick opportunities.
Avoid extended trades before level 6 to prevent losing health to his passive and spin damage.

Power spikes

At level 6, leverage (R) for burst and mobility to secure picks or roam safely.
After first AP burst item, pressure waves and trades more confidently to force Garen off the wave.
Respect Garen's level 6 execute (R) by avoiding low-health skirmishes and maintaining spacing.

Win conditions

Deny Garen farm by punishing CS attempts with your burst and maintaining lane priority.
Use level 6 (R) to create picks or roam, snowballing leads through mobility and burst.
Pressure waves and trades strongly after your first AP item to limit his execute windows.

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