    This is a simple relic that boosts Garu within a wide area. In order to drop the relic, however, a Garu must be sent back to the runedock (with a 50% refund). Obviously, this relic is best used when a Garu, who is about to die, can drop the relic on the front lines of battle (or in an opposing font) to let those Garu who are still around benefit from it most. Since it temporarily has Ghost, this relic can continue to contest a font pretty effectively until backup arrives.

    Some examples...

    Garu Kodiak (82 Nora)- He can drop this relic for 25 Nora, get sent back to the runedock, and generate 41 Nora. Net Gain: 16 Nora.
    Mountain Garu (65 Nora)- He can drop this relic for 25 Nora, get sent back to the runedock, and generate 33 Nora. Net Gain: 8 Nora.

    I slightly changed the rune to make it only playable next to a friendly Garu.

    I like this idea! However I feel that Garu as a theme need some work, but it would be a cool concept. Rush in with a dying unit, lay down some harass and save him.

    Good point, I just made a thread about updating some existing non-champion runes to help the theme work better together. Some champions would definitely need to be changed to make the theme playable but here's what I got...

    Rather than pushing the boost 3 trend why not give it spirit projection?

    It would be interesting but I think the Garu could use some type of buff. If not Boost: Garu, maybe something else?

    maybe that could be a different relic?

    The more Garu themed runes, the merrier!
