Cassiopeia vs Garen

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 10, 2026

Overview

Prioritize extended trades by landing (Q) to poison and chaining (E) for sustained damage.
Maintain mid-range spacing to force Garen into unfavorable all-ins punishable by (W) and (R).
Deny Garen short trades by holding wave near mid-range and avoiding trades without poison.

Trading pattern

Start trades by landing (Q) to poison, then chain (E) for maximum damage.
Use (W) to ground and slow Garen, blocking his silence and escape.
Avoid trades when (W) or (R) are down to prevent Garen's burst and silence punishes.

Danger windows

Beware when (Q) is ready to silence and initiate burst trades.
Avoid extended trades without (W) as Garen can freely engage or disengage.
Stay healthy and avoid low HP near Garen post-level 6 without (R) ready to punish.

Early game

Use early (Q) to poke and apply poison before Garen can engage with (Q) silence.
Avoid committing to trades without poison to prevent being silenced and burst.
Hold wave mid-range to deny Garen easy access for short trades and force overextensions.

Power spikes

At level 6, punish Garen's all-ins with (R) when he commits facing you.
After first mana/AP item, extend trades confidently to outdamage Garen before his passive resets.
Respect Garen's level 6 execute range and (Q) silence cooldown to avoid lethal trades.

Win conditions

Win lane by consistently poisoning and forcing extended (E) trades to outdamage Garen.
Use (W) to control his approach and (R) to punish all-in attempts when he faces you.
Deny Garen free farm by crashing waves or punishing trades when your cooldowns are available.
