Read from Morgana's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Galio.
This is Morgana's own plan; across 2,732 pooled games the lane is leaning Morgana.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Galio | Level 1 his double-hit Q out-pokes you and your shield is magic-only. |
| Level 2 | Galio | Level 2 his hybrid kit trades through Black Shield harder than you can. |
| Level 3 | Galio | At 3 his taunt-into-combo threat dominates the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Galio | By 4-5 his W shield and MR passive blunt your poke damage. |
| Level 6 | Galio | Level 6 his map-wide R dive out-threatens your lane all-in. |
| First item | Galio | First item his tankiness and Q poke keep him firmly ahead. |
| Two+ items | Galio | Two items in he scales into an unkillable engage-tank you can't duel. |
Levels 1-2 are Galio's: his Q hits twice and out-pokes your single bolt, and because your Black Shield only stops magic he still chunks you with his hybrid kit. Give ground and don't contest the poke. His poke hits twice and out-chips your single bolt, so stop contesting and hold ground with the pool instead. Keep the shield for his dash rather than his tornado, and hunt the binding only once the wind-up is already spent, because that is the one window he cannot answer.
