Ahri vs Galio

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

Use Ahri's high poke and mobility to deny Galio free farm and force him into risky short trades early.
Manage wave tempo to maintain safe (E) angles and create roam opportunities while respecting (W) taunt and (E) knock-up threat.

Trading pattern

Poke with (Q) and (W), then punish Galio's forward steps with (E) when his (W) or (E) are down.
Hold (E) for real punish windows; avoid using it blindly.
Use (R) to reposition or disengage if Galio counters with (W) taunt or (E) knock-up.

Danger windows

Avoid stepping into (W) taunt and (E) knock-up range when these abilities are available.
Play cautiously when (R) is down or after missing (E) to avoid all-ins.
If Galio roams with (R), hard push the wave to punish and secure plates or vision.

Early game

Use (Q) and (W) for short trades and hold (E) until Galio commits or wastes (W) or (E).
Avoid extended trades when (W) and (E) are available to punish forward movement.
Push or freeze the wave to deny Galio easy engages and set up roams after level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) for safe pick and chase plays; track (R) to avoid his map impact.
After first mage item, pressure waves and trades more confidently while tracking Galio's defensive cooldowns.
Respect (W) and (E) cooldowns to find safer trade windows.

Win conditions

Land (E) after Galio wastes (W) or (E), then follow up with (Q) and (W) damage and disengage with (R).
Deny Galio's passive scaling by controlling the wave and punishing his short-range engage cooldowns.
Use teleport and roam pressure post-level 6 to match Galio and impact side lanes.

Tip: For Ahri vs Galio, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
