| Level 6 | Galio | First item: Galio's W keeps neutralizing her core magic-damage identity. |

Galio hard-counters Seraphine early: her W Shield of Durand drastically reduces her High Note (Q) and Beat Drop (E) poke, turning her main strength into wasted mana. She can raise W into her casts and then walk her down since she has no mobility to escape. Punish every time she steps up to poke. Your shield cuts her poke down badly, so raise it into her rotation rather than after it. Poke with the tornado while she is spending mana on the wave. Punch once her own shield is spent, and let your ADC take the window rather than chasing her under tower.
