Galio Matchups Overview

Galio General information

Galio tips and tricks

Always play respectfully once you hit level 6. Your Ultimate Hero's EntranceR is pure utility and it cannot be used in a skirmish as effectively as most Supports.

Use the bushes in lane to get a surprise engage off on the enemy. Bursting them down will make the next few minutes of the laning phase much easier.

You can use your Ultimate Hero's EntranceR to impact your mid lane with your Jungler. But before roaming, make sure your ADC will be safe from an all-in.
