Read from Dr. Mundo's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Galio.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Galio | Galio out-pokes you at level 1 with Q Winds of War range. |
| Level 2 | Galio | His level 2 poke and shield keep him ahead before your sustain online. |
| Level 3 | Dr. Mundo | At 3 Heart Zapper's burst heal and Blunt Force flip it — yours. |
| Levels 4-5 | Dr. Mundo | Levels 4-5 stay yours as you out-sustain his magic chip. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | At 5 it's even — his poke threatens but can't kill through your regen. |
| First item | Dr. Mundo | Level 6 leans to you in lane; his R is a roam tool, not a duel win. |
| Two+ items | Dr. Mundo | Late, your health regen out-sustains his utility damage decisively. |
Galio pokes you at levels 1-2 with Q Winds of War and holds range, so eat a little poke and focus CS. From level 3 you flip it: Q Infected Bonesaw sustain and E damage let you out-trade his magic chip, and his W shield is purely defensive. Trade when his Q is down and don't chase into a Justice Punch.
