Read from Nami's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Galio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Nami | You win Level 1 poking Galio with E-autos while his W is easily dodged. |
| Level 2 | Nami | Your Level 2 spike lets you all-in before Galio's taunt-punch combo is online. |
| Level 3 | Nami | Level 3 stays yours as your sustained poke beats his mana-hungry short trades. |
| Levels 4-5 | Nami | Levels 4-5 remain yours since your ranged pressure grinds him before his ult. |
| Level 6 | Galio | Galio's Level 6 Hero's Entrance flips tempo with a global collapse your kit can't answer. |
| First item | Nami | First item favors you as your poke-sustain loop outpaces his low 2v2 lane pressure. |
| Two+ items | Nami | Two-plus items stay yours because your team-wide peel outvalues his single-engage lock. |
You win Levels 1-4: your E-empowered autos and Ebb and Flow out-poke Galio, whose Winds of War is easy to sidestep and burns his mana. Hit Level 2 first and threaten a bubble all-in before his taunt-punch combo comes online, and keep chipping his ADC. His early kit is short-ranged and needs a wind-up, so bubble the dash rather than the poke. Empower your carry's autos while his engage is unavailable, and let the passive speed pull your ADC out of the punch radius once he has already committed to it.
