Early game (levels 1–5)

Galio's shield passive makes short trades bad for you, since his poke gets partially absorbed while your Q needs a clean hit to matter — play patiently, farm from max range, and don't engage into his shield window. His Justice Punch knockup threatens real damage if you're caught close, so keep spacing generous.
