How to beat Galio

Common role: Mid / Support

An anti-mage tank who eats magic damage and knocks up your whole team globally.

What makes Galio dangerous

Galio pokes with a tornado (Q), gains a huge magic shield and taunts nearby enemies (W), dashes in for an AoE knock-up (E), and his ultimate flies across the map to land on an ally, knocking up and shielding everyone around them. He shuts down AP comps and roams globally to swing fights.

How to play against Galio

• 1Deal physical damage into him — his kit is built to eat magic.
• 2Don't waste abilities into his raised W shield; wait for it to drop.
• 3Ping his global ultimate — spread so his landing hits fewer allies.
• 4His E has a delayed knock-up; sidestep the second part.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Weak against physical damage — his defences are magic-oriented.
• ✓Clunky, telegraphed engage (E has a delay).
• ✓Mana-hungry early when poking with Q.
• ✓His threat drops if you spread against his ult and W.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Galio's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  巨像重击

  每过若干秒，加里奥的下次普攻就能在小范围内造成额外魔法伤害。

  Strong: his empowered auto hits an area for bonus magic damage. Weak: melee range — poke him before he can proc it.

• Q
  战争罡风

  加里奥发射两道罡风，罡风在汇聚后会形成一团大型龙卷风，造成持续伤害。

  Strong: a tornado that pokes and slows at long range. Weak: a slow, avoidable AoE — sidestep it, and it's mana-hungry.

• W
  杜朗护盾

  加里奥在防御姿态下蓄力，同时移动速度减慢。在蓄力得以释放时，加里奥将嘲讽并伤害附近的敌人。

  Strong: a huge magic shield and a taunt that anchors your team. Weak: don't throw abilities into the raised shield — wait for it to drop, and bring physical damage.

• E
  正义冲拳

  加里奥将暂时后跳然后冲锋，击飞他遇到的第一个敌方英雄。

  Strong: a dash with a delayed AoE knock-up to start fights. Weak: the knock-up is telegraphed — sidestep the second part.

• R
  英雄登场

  加里奥将一名友军的当前位置作为他的着陆点，并为区域内的所有友军提供一个魔法护盾。在短暂的延迟后，加里奥会落到该位置上，然后击退附近的敌人。

  Strong: flies across the map to knock up and shield everyone around an ally. Weak: it has a long channel — ping it and spread so the landing hits fewer.

Itemization

Physical-damage champs and comps ignore his magic defences. Spread for his global ult; don't feed his W shield — wait it out.
