Who Wins

Pre-6, you win the 2v2 because your 650 range lets you poke Cassiopeia safely before she can land Q, and Seraphine's poke compounds the pressure; Cassiopeia has no reliable way to engage without eating significant damage.
Post-6, the matchup becomes dangerous because Galio's R into Cassiopeia's R can one-shot you if you are caught out of position, so you must respect the all-in threat.

Your best trading pattern is to use traps to zone Cassiopeia away from minions and force her to take poke to CS, then auto-attack with headshot procs when Seraphine lands her E root; never let Cassiopeia get within E spam range without a trap between you.
Extended trades heavily favor Cassiopeia once she has poison applied, so keep trades short and use your range to disengage.

You want to set up a slow push by letting the wave build and placing traps in the brush and river to deny Galio's roam paths; a large wave crashing into your tower is dangerous because Galio's R can follow the wave reset.
Ideally, keep the wave slightly on your side of the lane to maintain poke pressure and deny Cassiopeia the ability to walk up safely.

Do not stand in a straight line with Seraphine when Galio has his R available; a well-timed Galio R into Cassiopeia R will stun and delete both of you if you are grouped.
Always track Galio's position and have an escape path ready, as his R has global range and you have no dash to escape the landing zone.
