Riot Games just dropped a big update for League of Legends – version 25.7. It’s got a bunch of new stuff, but fans are super excited about one thing: a free skin for Garen. They’re calling it Garen Pingu.
There’s a video on social media that shows off the new skin. You can see how it looks in the game.

To use the free Garen skin, just pick it in the game. You can use it in non-ranked matches. The skin will only be available for two weeks, though.
Riot Games says, “Garen Pingu will be available during this update. It’s a free skin that you can select for Garen in all game modes!” You can find more info on their website.
If you’ve never played with Garen before, some sites like OPGG and Blitz have tips. They say to use the Conqueror rune with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity, and Last Stand. For your secondary tree, go with Sorcery and pick Arcanist and Celerity. For summoner spells, flash with ignite or teleport are good combos.
