| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|

| Level 3 | Galio | Level 3 stays his: his sustain and E-taunt beat your attrition trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Galio | Levels 4-5 remain his as his tankiness and Justice Punch lockdown outclass your poke. |
| Level 6 | Galio | At 6 Flash-Hero's Entrance makes his all-in unpredictable and hard to answer. |
| First item | Galio | First-item W damage reduction and Q sustain let him win the war of attrition. |
| Two+ items | Galio | With 2+ items his frontline AoE and taunt combo out-scale your single-target zone control. |
Galio out-poised you early: his Q (Winds of War) tornado out-ranges your comfortable poke and heals him off enemies standing in it, while his W (Shield of Durand) charge reduces the damage of anything you throw at him. He hits level 2 as a durable frontliner you can't burst, so don't try to duel his step-up — poke only in short windows and give ground when he winds up W. Ward defensively, because a level-2 E-taunt from Galio can flip a trade instantly.
