Track: Galio's E — Justice Punch (11–7s cooldown). His dash knockup — he has no engage while it is down.
Read from Aurelion Sol's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Galio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Galio | Winds of War at 825 out-ranges your 750 beam, and his knockup ends the channel anyway |
| Level 2 | Galio | Continued shield absorption and engage pressure keep him ahead through this stage |
| Level 3 | Galio | Justice Punch setup damage compounds while your own combo still isn't lethal |
| Levels 4-5 | Galio | Winds of War chip damage persists through the wave-clear stretch of the lane |
| Level 6 | Galio | Hero's Entrance is global from 4000 range at 6 and you have no answer at all |
| First item | Even / skill | Your first completed item starts closing the range and burst gap between you |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Full-build Aurelion Sol's poke and mobility finally outclass his shield-engage kit |
Galio's passive is Colossal Smash — a periodic auto-attack reset that cleaves an area, not a shield. The shield comes from Shield of Durand, which also taunts at 275. Winds of War is 825 range on 11s, so farm the back line with Q from 750, clear with E at 12s, and stay outside the 650 Justice Punch reaches. Track Justice Punch is 11s at rank 1, 7s at rank 5, and reaches 650 — wait for it before you channel Q.
