Early game (levels 1–5)

At level 1 Galio has the edge: his Q double-wind and empowered auto out-range Rell, who is melee and weakest before her W dismount tools come online. Poke her down while she can only walk at you. Once she gets W she gains a real engage, so bank your early advantage before that.
