How to win lane as Galio against Nami · 54.66% win rate over 772 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | Nami's level-1 E and auto pressure with a bubble threat out-trades you early. |
| Level 2 | Nami | At 2 Aqua Prison gives her a free lockdown-into-Ebb-and-Flow trade. |
| Level 3 | Nami | At 3 her poke and CC still out-range your gap-close so she stays ahead. |
| Levels 4-5 | Galio | At 4-5 your W blocks her poke and your Q-into-E finally out-trades her. |
| Level 6 | Galio | At 6 Hero's Entrance dives her carry before her slow-only ult can peel. |
| First item | Galio | First item lets your gap-close stick through her shield and she can't kite away. |
| Two+ items | Nami | At 2+ items her Tidal Wave-bubble chain locks your engage, flipping it back. |
Levels 1-3 belong to Nami: Aqua Prison is a point-blank-to-ranged lockdown that sets up a big Ebb and Flow trade, and her E buffs her ADC's autos, so play back, soak her bubble on minions, and don't force a Q engage into a lane that out-pokes you.
