How to beat Galio as Milio: the early game

You control levels 1-3. Galio's early kill pattern is E (Justice Punch) into Q (Winds of War) poke, and your Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q) knocks him back and slows him before the follow-up lands, so his combo trades poorly. Punish him after he throws E — it's his only gap-closer — and keep your ADC spaced so it can only clip one of you. His early kill pattern needs the dash to land first, so hold the kick for exactly that and nothing else. Keep the campfire on your own ground so the chip never adds up, and shield your carry the instant the wind-up starts rather than after the punch has resolved.
