Garen's passive, Perseverance, allows Garen to regenerate a percentage of his maximum health every 5 seconds. However, if Garen is hit by an enemy or an enemy ability, he will have to wait 8 seconds for the ability to return. This ability is very useful because it allows Garen to frequently and confidently exchange hits with the enemy without having to waste time in base healing as a result.

In all three variations, teamwork is key, but in Juggernaut especially you will have to focus the enemy juggernaut as a team before you can pick off the r
