Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1Even / skillYou both have a weak level 1 — he has one ability and you have only Q with no kite chain, so farm from Q range and start nothing.
Level 2LilliaYour Q sweetspot plus E slow opens the Dream Dust burn and your stacking move speed keeps you outside his Q poke — he can't catch a kiter.
Level 3LilliaFull early Q and the compounding DoT mean every step he takes toward you costs HP while you hop free of his line poke.
Levels 4-5LilliaLevels 4-5 are your peak lane window — your burn grinds down a tank who has to walk at you, and his Q poke can't out-trade your sustained chip.
Level 6GalioHis Justice Punch (E) into taunt (W) is point-and-click and ignores your kite — with jungle pressure at 6 it deletes a squishy with no defensive button.
First itemLilliaLiandry's / Riftmaker comes online and your W plus Dream Dust finally punch percent-HP through his stacked magic resist.
Two+ itemsLilliaYou out-skirmish and out-roam him with item-powered burn and move speed — convert the tempo before his global R makes him a teamfight anchor.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Galio is the wrong target for a tank — he can't statcheck you, so Levels 2-3 you start layering Q sweetspots and the E slow to begin the Dream Dust burn, and your stacking move speed keeps you outside his Q poke. The catch: his Q hits in a line for chunky AP poke and his passive auto cleaves, so don't sit still feeding it. Never E into him and then walk forward — his Justice Punch (E) is a point-and-click dash-knockup that ignores your kite entirely, and a single one chains into his taunt. Last-hit from range with Q, start the burn, and refuse the standstill trade.
