Garen vs Camille

Updated Jun 2, 2026

Overview

Focus on short trades using (Q) silence and (E) spin to chip Camille while preserving health for (R) execute windows.
Avoid extended fights where Camille's mobility and true damage punish Garen's low range and lack of dash.
This is a mid-scaling juggernaut vs late-scaling diver matchup; deny Camille easy scaling by controlling short trade windows.

Trading pattern

Initiate trades with (Q) to silence and prevent Camille's counter-engage or escape spells.
Follow up quickly with (E) spin damage and disengage before Camille can retaliate with second (Q) or (R).
Punish Camille when her (E) is down by stepping forward for short trades and backing off to heal with passive.

Danger windows

(E) engage from terrain angles creates high threat windows; avoid overextending near walls.
Her (R) lockdown at level 6 can trap Garen; only commit (R) after baiting or when Camille's disengage is used.
Garen is vulnerable after using (Q) if Camille maintains distance; avoid chasing too far without passive health regeneration.

Early game

Use early levels to farm safely and look for short (Q)+(E) trades when (E) is on cooldown.
Avoid taking repeated poke from (W) slow and (Q) true damage second hit by spacing out after trades.
Maintain wave control to prevent Camille from using terrain angles for (E) engages.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) execute becomes a strong kill threat; use chip damage to bring Camille into execute range.
After first bruiser/tank item, Garen can absorb more damage and extend short trades safely.
Respect Camille's first sheen-style item spike which empowers her second (Q) true damage; avoid extended trades then.

Win conditions

Win by consistently landing (Q) silence into (E) damage, then backing off to recover health and pressure with (R) execute.
Deny Camille access to terrain for (E) engages by controlling wave position and avoiding overextension.
Reach mid-game durability with first tank item to survive Camille's burst and force favorable short trades or side-lane pressure.
