Galio Counters Summary (Continued)

The best champs globally to counter Galio include Kai'Sa, Samira, and Tristana. These picks are all good at countering Galio with decent win rates over 54%. Even if these Galio counter picks are not picked opposite your position, it's not smart to choose him into these matchups. They will often destroy Galio.

Conversely, if the other team choses either Trundle or Miss Fortune, you should strongly consider choosing him, as he easily wins against these champs with win rates over 55% against both ofthem.

How to Counter Galio

If you see Galio charging up Shield of Durand, you can expect a teamfight or gank coming, so be ready.

Galio is weakest in the early game. This is your best opportunity to harass him and leave him behind in XP and farm. Make sure to play safe and avoid his poke damage so you can get ahead in the match.

Keep an eye at level 6. Galio's Ultimate R is a powerful tool in his kit, enabling him to make plays across the map. Be aware of this and be prepared to respond if he uses this to assist his allies.

Galio is less effective against well-positioned teams. Make sure your team maintains good spacing during fights to reduce his engagement potential and thus, mitigate his ability to capitalize on clustered formations.

Ward the map. Galio often roams to support his teammates through his Ultimate R. By warding the river or lane brushes, you can spot his movements and play defensively to avoid his ganks.

Poke him if he misses his E. Galio is vulnerable to long-ranged attacks, especially if he misses his E ability. Waiting for this opportunity to harass him can significantly reduce his health.

In the mid and late game, always keep track of Galio's location. Stay close to your team to be able to counter his Ultimate R engages. Using your abilities to protect your carries can also significantly increase your chances of winning team fights.

AD ranged champions are effective against Galio. Utilize this knowledge and leverage AD champions that can consistently apply damage to him, especially after he uses his E ability.
