Now that Garen did not have his combat awareness and his usual Energy Machinist experimental platform, he was completely vulnerable in the hands of Willpower powerhouses. Just a powerhouse with a Level Two or Three Willpower Technique would be sufficient to defeat his Willpower. Even though his physique could still handle the impact of a Willpower attack below Level Three, he could not merely rely on his Willpower to defend himself from the enemy.
To fight against Predators who use Field Combat, Garen did not have much of a plan as well. If they were to fight upfront, they definitely did not stand a chance.
