| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Galio | Galio's ranged Q and E-knockup threat outrange your dashless level-1 kit. |
| Level 2 | Galio | Level 2 his poke and gap-close pressure keep lane tempo his. |
| Level 3 | Galio | At level 3 his AoE damage still out-values your slow setup. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Level 4 is even - dodging Justice Punch neutralizes his burst window. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 5 stays a skill check as his engage sits on cooldown between plays. |
| First item | Taric | With first item your Bastion sustain and Cosmic Radiance overtake his engage. |
| Two+ items | Taric | Two-plus items your heal, invuln, and peel beat his single-engage burst kit. |
Levels 1-3 favour Galio: his Q Winds of War pokes from range and his E Justice Punch threatens a gap-close knockup, while your dashless kit can only answer with a slow E, so hold minion cover and don't feed his AoE.
