Who Wins
- You lose pre-6 due to poor waveclear and vulnerability to Galio's Q poke, but you become significantly stronger post-6 when you can steal his R for superior teamfight presence.
- Focus on surviving the early laning phase rather than forcing trades.
How to Trade
- Your best trading pattern starts with E1-E2 to gap close, then weave passive autos between Q and W, saving W heal for when you're low to maximize sustain.
- Only commit to trades when Galio's W is on cooldown or you can interrupt it with E2.
Wave Control
- Accept being pushed in early and focus on last-hitting under tower while looking for jungle assistance, as Galio's superior waveclear makes it difficult to contest push.
- After 6, look for roam timers when Galio recalls or uses R elsewhere.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't waste E trying to engage when Galio has W available, as he can easily interrupt your combo and disengage with his own E.
- Avoid using stolen ultimates carelessly in teamfights, as proper timing of stolen Galio R can be game-changing.
