Read from Lissandra's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Galio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Lissandra | Level 1 favours you as your Q out-ranges his early poke. |
| Level 2 | Lissandra | Level 2 stays yours as you dodge his W taunt with E and trade freely. |
| Level 3 | Lissandra | Level 3 is yours as you punish his Q cooldown windows. |
| Levels 4-5 | Lissandra | Through levels 4-5 you deny his shove-and-roam and out-poke him. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 6 your R counters his Hero's Entrance dive, keeping you ahead. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item lets your Liandry's DPS shred his MR stacking, favouring you. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | At 2-plus items your chain-CC and damage out-carry his low personal threat. |
Levels 1-2 favour you: Galio is a slow melee-range mage early, and your Q out-ranges his poke while you dodge his W taunt with E. Track Justice Punch is 11s at rank 1, 7s at rank 5 and only 650 range — it is his one engage, so step up while it is down. Galio wants to farm with Q Winds of War and shove for roams; you out-poke him early and can E away from his W taunt engage before it lands.
