Read from Brand's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Galio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Galio | Galio's W passive shield soaks your level-1 Q and W poke. |
| Level 2 | Galio | At level 2 his W magic reduction lets him trade through your burst. |
| Level 3 | Galio | Level 3 his E-Q taunt all-in beats your combo when he commits. |
| Levels 4-5 | Galio | Levels 4-5 his taunt locks you down through your poke damage. |
| Level 6 | Galio | His R roam and taunt out-pressure your Pyroclasm window at 6. |
| First item | Galio | MR/HP itemization makes your Liandry's burn hit him for less. |
| Two+ items | Galio | He is a hard anti-mage whose shields and taunt blunt your AoE late. |
Levels 1-3 Galio wins the magic duel: his W passive shield soaks your Q and W burn, and if you dive in he can W-taunt you and E-Justice-Punch into a trade that beats your combo, so you're forced to poke only when his shield is already broken. His shield soaks the burn and his taunt punishes a dive, so poke from range and never step past your own minions. Apply Blaze with an auto so the stun is available if he closes. Watch the mana bar, and let your ADC rather than your rotation be what actually pressures the wave.
