Garen vs Camille Counter Pick

Garen’s damage output is entirely physical, and that is the specific problem. Adaptive Defenses grants Camille a shield scaled to her maximum health against whichever damage type just hit her, so Judgment — a spin that deals nothing but physical damage — is the easiest possible trigger. Across 2,437 games on patch 16.13.1 Garen sits at 47.1%, graded hard.

The stat sheet does not predict that. Garen opens with 690 health to her 650 and 38 armor to her 35, and finishes at 109.4 armor against 111.5, so the two frames are nearly matched. Shape is what separates them. Camille reaches only 125 units to his 175, yet Hookshot lets her pick the moment from a wall, and Tactical Sweep heals her off the outer half of its cone, which puts the sustain war on her side even though Perseverance costs Garen nothing. The Hextech Ultimatum then anchors him inside a zone he cannot leave, removing the escape half of Decisive Strike and leaving only the slow break. Both move at 340, so there is no outrunning it either. Camille rates 4 for execution against Garen’s 5, meaning the record is not the product of extra mechanical investment. Her mana pool is the only recurring cost in the exchange, since Garen pays nothing to trade. Complete stat line: Garen.
