How to beat Galio as Renata Glasc: the early game

Levels 1-2 are yours: Galio's early is poke-oriented and his hard engage needs to close melee range with E Justice Punch, which you can see coming. Shield his Q with E, use your Handshake and W tempo to win the auto-war, and bully him while his engage tools are short-ranged and telegraphed. His engage needs a wind-up, so tether him during it and the dash never resolves. Mark him with an auto beforehand for the free chip, and keep the shield-speed for your carry's exit rather than spending it on poke you could simply have walked out of.
