This is Janna's own plan; across 2,022 pooled games the lane is leaning Janna.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Janna | Galio's one-rank kit and telegraphed E let you lead early. |
| Level 2 | Janna | Weak level-2 Q poke means you zone and farm freely. |
| Level 3 | Galio | His E-Q taunt combo out-trades your shield at level 3. |
| Levels 4-5 | Galio | Stacked Winds of War wins the 4-5 poke war. |
| Level 6 | Galio | His engage and roam threat still pressure you pre-6. |
| First item | Janna | Monsoon at 6 knocks him off mid-E and disengages the taunt. |
| Two+ items | Janna | Late AoE peel disassembles his single-target engage. |
Levels 1-2 you hold the edge: Galio's E knock-up telegraphs its dash and his Q poke is weak at one rank, so zone with W and keep Q ready for his engage. Farm and poke freely while his combo isn't online yet. His engage telegraphs its wind-up and his poke is thin at one rank, so hold the tornado for the dash and cancel it outright. Shield your carry before the punch lands. Push the wave so the ground he has to cover is longer than his wind-up allows.
